Githunguri MP, Gathoni Muumomba, accused the party of violating Orwoba’s democratic rights.
Speaking in Mombasa on Wednesday, May 21, Wamuchomba said the act was a violation of ORWOBA’s right to join the people or groups he wanted.
Accompanied by Senator Richard Onyonka, Wamuchomba said that Orwoba, who is a nominee senator through UDAhe is politically abused, which signifies a weakening of national values.
“We say, UDA stop bothering MPs. You can’t exclude Gloria and her community. You can’t say that because Gloria is chosen through UDA, then you are not allowed to cooperate with the people of her community. He said they were.
The statement came after the Senate Speaker, Amason Kingi, announced that Orwoba’s seat had been open following his dismissal by the UDA party.
Kewopa’s departure chairman said he supports Orwoba as his political rights and freedom of cooperation are violated.
“Uda basically means a democratic party. he added.
He said if the party were really democratic, it would allow Orwoba to cooperate with his community without taking it as a betrayal of the party or joining its opponents.
Kisii Senator, Onyonka, said the party humiliated Orwoba for fear of defeat in the 2027 presidential election, where it is said that Matiang’i may be running for them.
“Gloria is a victim of the situation she found. She is treated this way just because she has a friendly relationship with Matiang’i. I hope the court will save her because these things are not fair,” Said Onyonka.
