How handshake has finally saved embattled Jumwa

The handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition chief Raila Odinga has spared Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa’s uster from ODM party.

Mr Odinga said if Ms Jumwa eats humble pie for violating party rules as her Msambweni counterpart Suleiman Dori did she will be spared.

Speaking at Toi market in Kibra on Tuesday following a fire that destroyed over 1,900 stalls, Mr Odinga said that the errant MP only has to apologise to be brought back into the fold.

“We forgave Dori after he apologised. So if Aisha Jumwa does the same, we will forgive her,” said Mr Odinga.

ODM’s National Governing Council ratified the party’s disciplinary committee expulsion of MP for gross misconduct.

Addressing the delegates on March 1, Mr Odinga said that loyalty is paramount and critical, warning that his March 9, 2018 truce with President Uhuru Kenyatta was not meant to undermine the party leadership.
