“For the record, the over one-decade political dominance of ODM in Coast has been the most disastrous and catastrophic era for the region in independent Kenya,” 11 MPs allied to the DP at the Coast said on Monday.
“ODM sunk a region struggling to emerge from the yoke of marginalisation into the abyss of mediocrity, bad governance and poor leadership largely witnessed by the election of the types of Hassan Joho,” they said.
