ODM-Scandinavia Excecutive Committee Named
The Scandinavian branch of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM-Scandinavia) has been named. Names of the officials emerged following a Committee meeting which was held on Tuesday October 24th.
Those who were named to head the Movement are as follows: Chairperson, Mrs Hellen Opwapo, Vice chairperson, Mr. Martin Ngatia, Secretary, Mr. Dancan Munala, Vice secretary, Mr. Odhiambo Opee Junior, Organising secretary, Mr. Charles Otieno, Treasurer, Mr. Gerry Changa Midenyo, Vice Treasurer Mrs Sophia Njoroge while the Office of Information and Propaganda will be headed by Mr. Okoth Osewe.
The Committee has already prepared a draft Constitution that will be discussed by members at a meeting scheduled for Saturday November 4th. The venue of the meeting will be announced later. Other tasks of the Committee include registration of ODM-Scandinavia in Sweden, opening a bank account, recruitment of new members and calling elections as soon as the Movement is registered.
Speaking to Kenya Stockholm Blog, Mrs Hellen Opwapo, the just elected Chairperson, said that she was grateful that the Committee had entrusted her with the huge responsibility of leading the Party branch in Scandinavia.
“I take this opportunity to thank all members who have trusted me with this position”, she said soon after assuming office. Mrs Opwapo appealed to Kenyans and friends in Scandinavia to help bring down the current Kibaki regime by supporting ODM-Kenya in its struggle for power.
“This government has failed to deliver on most of its election promises and therefore the Kibaki government needs to be replaced”, she said.
The appointment of Office bearers of ODM-Scandinavia opens the way for political activities which have been pending since the Committee was elected by Kenyans who founded ODM-Scandinavia ten days ago. The Party branch has a twelve point program which forms the basis of its support of ODM-Kenya.

Two Kenyan Parties On Saturday 28th October
Two Kenyan parties are planned for Saturday October 28th. An all night party will take place at Märsta while another bash will be cooking at Albyskolan. The Märsta party has been organized by Kenyans in Märsta while the Ably one will be driven by Mr. Clay Onyango and the Thunderbolt Crew.
The Märsta Party will take place at Norrbackaskolan (Odensalavägen 1) from 20.00 hr. Entrance will be 50 kr. According to Charles Otieno, one of the organizers of the party, there will be plenty of food at affordable prices. To locate the venue, take bus number 581 from Märsta station then alight at Norrbackaskolan.
The Alby Party has another agenda – to fund raise for “Operation Thunderbolt”, a project mooted by Mr. Clay Onyango and whose main objective is to build apartment blocks in Kenya for Kenyans in Sweden. Clay told KSB that entrance fee at the party will be 50 kr for those who just want to have fun and 100 kr for those who want to become members of “Operation Thunderbolt”. The party starts at 18.00.
According to Clay, profits from the party will go towards the project whose objectives are expected to be met in 10 years time. A sketch of “Operation Thunderbolt” will soon be posted at KSB.
