The
Cord Coalition is now threatening to crack the whip on MPS believed to be too
friendly to the ruling Jubilee coalition. During a joint parliamentary Group
meeting of the Cord affiliate parties, it was proposed that rebel MPs risk stern
disciplinary action, including losing their seats in Parliament.
Also
put on notice are Cord allied MPs who have been vocal in opposing the proposed
referendum being spearheaded by its three principals, Raila Odinga (ODM),
Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) and Moses Wetang’ula (Ford Kenya).
Sources
say those who have been put on close watch are a number of MPs from Coast
region some of whom had gone public that they were working closely with
jubilee.
Cord
has now asked MPS with one foot in the Government and another in CORD to quit
and seek a fresh mandate if they think they are strong on the ground. Cord has
now instructed its lawyers to study closely the Political Parties Act which
allows parties to discipline members for violating both the Act and their
respective party constitutions.
