The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has faulted the Jubilee coalition over a letter making rounds on social media purportedly written by ODM chairman John Mbadi, asking one of the oppositionย leadersย to slow down on the National Youth Serviceย saga.
In a statement, ODM told offย members of the ruling coalition, stating that theyย were mindlessย to write such a letter and address it to the ‘CORD Chief Whip’, a position that didย not exist.
โThe letter is addressed to the ‘CORD Chief Whip’ a position that does not exist in law and the parliamentary Standing Orders. Only an ignorant person can use a non existent title.โ the statement read in part.
In the alleged ODMย missive, Mbadiย asksย Minority Whipย Thomas Mwadeghu to go easy on the NYS scandal lest some key party members including its Director of Elections Junet Mohammed,ย among others get incriminated in the Sh791 Million scam.
However, in the statement signed by ODMย Communication Director Phillip Etale, the party further indicated that the letter hadย Mbadi’s scanned signature yet the party did notย sign off itsย official letters in that manner.
โTherefore, the letter is a fraud which is Jubileeโs second name, a forgery and an attempt to divert the attention of the public from the theft of millions of shillings meant for the youth on the National Youth Service,โ ODM firmly stated.
The Opposition partyย reiterated their dedication to see those involved in the infamous corruption scandalย at the NYS arrested and prosecuted.
“The ODM wishes to state as follows; Mr. Mbadi has and is still very vocal on the issue of the theft in the NYS where hundreds of millions of shillings have been stolen under the watch of the Jubilee administration.” the party added.
Here is the letter:
