Tuesday, May 7, 2024 - Kileleshwa Member of County Assembly Robert Alai is facing the wrath of Raila Odinga’s Azimio Coalition for allegedly working with the 'enemy'
Alai is facing disciplinary action from the Azimio Coalition
after he attended a meeting organized by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Already, Azimio asked Alai to show cause why he shouldn’t be
disciplined after he allegedly defied the party’s directive to abscond the
meeting.
According to the Majority Chief Whip of the Nairobi County
Assembly, Moses Ogeto, Alai defied orders issued to Azimio members on
April 22.
Ogeto further detailed that Alai’s attendance was in
contravention of Azimio’s policies and depicted support of the Kenya Kwanza
Alliance.
Further, the Chief Whip stated that Alai openly supported
Kenya Kwanza’s directives in public, a move that hasn’t augured well with the
rival Azimio Coalition.
“Your unethical dalliance and open affection towards our
rival coalition, KENYA KWANZA as evidenced by your speech during the meeting,
is treated as serious misconduct from your side towards the Leadership of the
House and the leadership of AZIMIO ONE KENYA COALITION in general,” stated
Ogeto.
However, Alai has defended himself, stating that his
attendance was in the interest of the electorate as the meeting was meant to
discuss matters of interest to Nairobi residents.
Alai also explained that the opposition's failure to attend
such meetings would present adverse outcomes for Nairobians as crucial policies
were discussed in such forums.
Further, Alai rebutted that failure to heed to such
invitations was a failure to Nairobians who elected the Azimio leaders.
The meeting in question was held on April 24, at
Gachagua’s Karen residence. Its agenda focused on the Nairobi River’s Action
Plan implementation.
