My appointment as the ODM Deputy Party Leader will strengthen my oversight role.
Sen Osotsi
I am telling off critics who have been claiming the added responsibility will water down my role in the Senate.I am giving an assurance I will remain focused on my mandate in the Senate while at the same time performing the new responsibility placed on my shoulders by the party.The appointment will make me more stronger as a Senator.I will work with resilience. I am now on the table that discusses political matters.I further reiterate that ODM has not joined the UDA government but only seconded a few of its professionals to help the Kenya Kwanza administration that was struggling to remain afloat.I will continue calling out the excesses in government.
Osotsi took the chance to announce that a major homecoming ceremony to celebrate this appointment will be held in October at Kidundu Stadium and will be graced by Baba, Hon. Raila Odinga.
During the Friday prayer session, Hon Osotsi termed the appointment as a God-given blessing and assured all that he will use the position to fix ODM matters and make the party's weak areas strong, beginning with Bungoma, Kakamega, Busia, Trans Nzoia and Vihiga counties.
He further told the crowd that the ODM boss, Hon. Odinga, will remain active as a coach and player.
The seat I have brought home is a platform to plan ahead. It is about investing in the future. My appointment is about God, loyalty and hard work. I will not let the party down. Added Osotsi.
