Omondi also used the opportunity to respond to Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party decision to oust him among other Mps and threats to derigister them from the party.
He blatantly said that he and other leaders are not regretting the decision they made and the path they decided to follow.
“We are being singled out and all blames heaped at us because we decided to work closely with the Kenya Kwanza government, a worthy decision that personally, am not regretting,” he said.

He added that it is time now to advice the opposition to concentrate on positive criticism and shun the blame games within it.

“We all know that one cannot be a judge in a case that involves him. He, (Mbadi) has publicly declared the interest in my seat and so we all know what he is up to with all that,” he added.
