Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi’s name was removed from the list of Amani National Congress party which is led by Musalia Mudavadi. But the lawmaker still insists that he picked Mudavadi when he had nowhere to go and brought him to ANC.
Osotsi says Mudavadi had nowhere to go after several parties among them his UDF were dissolved to pave way for creation of president Uhuru Kenyatta-led Jubilee Party.
“When 13 parties were being collapsed to form Jubilee, UDF was one of the parties that was dissolved. Mudavadi had no party at the time and I invited him into ANC,” Mr Osotsi said in Vihiga.
Other leaders he claims he recruited from UDF are MPs Alfred Agoi (Sabatia), Ayub Savula (Lugari), John Bunyasi (Nambale), Alfred Sambu (Webuye East) and Vihiga Senator George Khaniri.
Early this week, Registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu confirmed that Osotsi was procedurally removed from the party, a move that could lead to his eviction from parliament.
