Former Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo has dismissed as rumors social media posts saying he is criticizing ODM.
When called for comment, Jakoyo said he was in his rural home in Gem and had not spoken to the media nor wrote such posts criticizing ODM.
“I have just come from the farm and I am waiting for some guests to arrive,” he said.
He said the posts are being pushed by the current MP Elisha Odhiambo and former MP Joe Donde.
“When I became MP, I helped Joe Donde secure a job at KMTC. I even lobbied for him to become chairman. Later, I helped him secure a Job in Siaya County Public Service Board. He has now ganged up with Elisha Odhiambo and they are peddling all manner of lies against me,” he said.
He said he has tried to give a chance to Elisha Odhiambo to make peace with him but Elisha doesn’t want.
Jakoyo said the “lies” are being peddled because he wants to become the ODM secretary General and revamp the Party.
He blamed Siaya Senator James Orengo and several other unnamed politicians for opposing his bid.
