Following the summon in mid-June 2020 by the ODM Party leader Raila Odinga to talk to Bungoma MCAs into submission and therefore swear unwavering support for Wangamati, 7 out of the 9 MCAs agreed to the Party leader’s directive while 2 MCAs were not willing since their conscience could not allow them to blindly support Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati of FORD KENYA saying they know him and his deeds better. In the meeting Baba informed the MCAs that Wangamati had indicated that he’ll join ODM come 2022 and therefore had asked for an advance favor; Protection from Wetangula.
Finer details of Baba’s meeting; https://ikuweikuwe.com/2020/06/26/raila-joins-wangamati-rescue-team/
The MCAs were upon arrival given ‘instructions’ to work with Wangamati regardless of what they believe in. Baba indicated that Wangamati had shown interest in contesting for the gubernatorial seat on an ODM ticket come 2022… What came out clear was baba did not seem to be forcing them but was requesting them to HIGHLY consider doing so. He told them “Wangamati amelia sana… saidia yeye”
…of importance is the Committee that Majimbo chairs, the committee that is in charge of Wangamati’s petition… ODM wants a Wangamati sycophant in charge
Sources say the two leaders; Khalaba MCA Hon. Majimbo Okumu and Mihuu MCA, Hon. Violet Makhanu declined to agree to that with Hon Majimbo informing Baba that he doesn’t support Wangamati not because he hates him but because he presides over a corrupt regime, he is a bully, derails the assembly’s programs and ODMs support of him will not deliver a seat even if he contests on ODM… “He is tainted” Majimbo is said to have told baba
On 14th July 2020 both leaders received NOTICE TO SHOW CAUSE asking them to defend their decisions not to support Wangamati… This was after they took part in elbowing pro-Wangamati MCAs in the assembly leadership. A notice Majimbo responded to on 20th July 2020.
Majimbo Okumu is the leader of the SUMMIT, an outfit comprising Bungoma MCAs from different parties who successfully supported changes that ousted pro-Wangamati MCAs from assembly leadership
Violet Makhanu has literary grown to be an enemy of Wangamati to the point of Wangamati threatening to teach her a political lesson following her refusal to bootlick him. Wangamati has thrown everything at her just to scare her, the latest being the ongoing County govt. sponsored recall petition against her… She has stood her ground which has earned her more admiration from her voters and Bungoma populace at large
The two have have now been summoned to appear before the ODMs disciplinary organ at ORANGE HOUSE on Tuesday, August 11, 2020…
- Hon Majimbo is suspended as the County Secretary
- Hon. Violet has been suspended as Deputy Treasurer, ODM Women League
#iKUWEiKUWE Updates has learnt that;
- The MCAs intend to honor the summons to defend their stand
- Majimbo will MISS committee sittings courtesy the ODM summon
- They intend to stand their ground… UNTIL WHEN WANGAMATI CHANGES
- The party wants to replace the two from assembly committees just to weaken the summit. Of importance is the Committee that Majimbo chairs, the committee that is in charge of Wangamati’s petition

I have this to tell;
- Wangamati; A less busy Majimbo Okumu is more dangerous than you might even want to imagine.
- ODM PARTY;
- A fallout between the two leaders and ODM will have far reaching consequences to both the party and the legislators far as Bungoma politics is concerned
- As a Jubilee member I never saw ORANGE HOUSE residents in Bungoma Campaigning for Majimbo… Khalaba voters who believe in him are the ones who campaigned for and subsequently voted for him.
- Frustrating one of the longest serving ODM members and Bungoma’s face of oversight in the assembly into supporting a person he deems corrupt is a recipe for a pending drop in ODM’s popularity
- When Majimbo was battling a Wetangula/Wangamati/Wamunyinyi sponsored court case (election petition) against Edith Shitandi… ORANGE HOUSE residents were nowhere! NOW YOU WANT TO FORCE HIM INTO SUPPORTING WANGAMATI BLINDLY???
- Removing Majimbo from those committees is big disservice to Bungoma populace… It will have consequences and I WILL BE HERE TO REMIND YOU WHEN TIME COMES
