New architecture of ODM party

no-title7.jpg

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is the father of Devolution in Kenya. Accordingly, we must support it in word and deed, in spirit and action. To ensure this is effective and felt by our members, supporters and the general public, the ODM has completed the process of restructuring so that our party’s architecture conforms to and reinforces the principle of subsidiarity upon which devolution is founded. Consequently, we shall have the National Party whose highest decision-makingorgan is the National Delegates Convention (NDC). The second tier will be the County Party whose highest decision making organ shall be the County Delegates Conference. To entrench the principle of subsidiarity, the ODM’s basic unit shall be the Polling Station where members shall elect the Polling Station Steering Committee (PSSC). Above the Polling Station, there shall be the Sub-Branch at the Ward Level which will be managed and coordinated by the Sub-Branch Executive Committee (SBEC). The ODM Branch, managed by the Branch Executive Committee (BEC) shall be at the Sub-County/Constituency level. All branches shall link directly with the National Executive Council (NEC) through the National Secretariat At the County level, the branches shall hold an annual County Delegates Conference which shall among other agenda, elect a County Coordinating Committee (CEC). Further to address historical inequalities, inherent in the current NDC composition, the party has restructured the composition of the National Delegates Convention to reflect the party strength across the country. Finally, in order to respond to emerging situations in a timely manner, a Central Committee of the NEC has been established. This shall comprise the following members of the party; the Party Leader, the two Deputy Party Leaders, the National Chairman, the Secretary General, the National Treasurer, the National Organizing Secretary, the Secretary for Women Affairs, the Secretary for Youth Affairs, and the Secretary for Parliamentary Affairs To affect these changes, the National Elections Board shall soon convene to announce a comprehensive programme for grassroots elections. The party has also concluded the revision of its Elections and Nominations Rules to accord to the new party architecture and to make our elections and nominations more democratic, transparent, predictable, fair and credible. Thank you and God Bless Kenya. Oduor Ong’wen Executive Director – ODM National Secretariat 10th June 2015

MOURNING THE ONLY PRINCIPAL I KNEW

By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau I arrived at Kanyakine High School on 18th February 1999 a small village boy. I had never been to a boarding school, and certainly this is the furthest from home I had ever gone. The boys who were assigned to escort me to Mungania dorm looked at my stunted height and loudly wondered how I would survive in Beast's school.  "Who is Beast?" I asked in bewilderment. "You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth. Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the publ...
