ODM Scandinavia will issue a Statement by the end of the week on the on-going crisis in Kenya about the power sharing deal between ODM and PNU. The Statement will be released after a meeting of the Party’s top organ expected towards the end of the week.
A top official of the Party told KSB that the Scandinavian branch has been studying the situation in Kenya very closely and that it will issue a comprehensive statement on the situation by Friday this week.
The official said that the party has not been in a hurry to issue statements over the deadlock because it has been giving the situation time to develop. “A lot of issues have been involved and it could have been premature for ODM Scandinavia to rush with statements”, he said.
In the meantime, Mr. Charles Otieno Owiyo, Organizing secretary of ODM Scandinavia, is in Kenya to consult with the mother Party and to get first hand information about what is happening. Mr. Otieno left Kenya on Friday last week and is expected to give a Report when he returns to Stockholm.
In another development, the Wananchi Pavilion and the ODM Office in Stockholm is currently closed for renovation. The Party has temporarily moved its operations to Nacka until the renovations are completed later this month. This means that ODM’s weekly meetings at the Pavilion have also been relocated and Party members are encouraged to get in touch with Headquarters for an update on weekly meeting places.
