Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)ย Secretary GeneralAbabu Namwamba has claimed that he is not appreciated by his party.
Ababu revealed on Tuesday that 18 months into his position,ย some members were making it difficult for him to work properly by employing intimidation tactics.
“I want to serve in an environment where I am appreciated. There are people who survive on intimidating others. I donโt want to work in an environment where am merely tolerated,” Namwamba expressed during an interview onย Citizen TV.
Theย Budalangiย legislator cited lack of appreciation by his party as a major reason why he has been a frustrated Secretary General.
โIt has been a veryย frustrating job for the last 18 months as a secretary general. In the fullness of time, the country will know the kind of frustration Iย am subjected to. I don’t want to serve because am forced to,โย added Ababu.
The Budalangi MP said that his efforts to reform the Opposition party had been misunderstood by some quarters whoย branded him a Jubilee mole.
For the longest time, Namwamba has been fightingย the Jubilee mole tag attachedย to him after he was spottedย a number of times engaging with government officials.
The lawmaker has been on the receiving end in the last few daysย following his absence during major Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) activities.
The ODM Secretary General has since explained thatย family and business matters barred him from participating in CORDย activitiesย especially the protests againstย the IEBC.
