ODM Appoints 9-Member Disaster Response Team
On Thursday, May 9, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), led by Raila Odinga, established a committee to support the federal government’s flood relief efforts.
ODM said at the announcement that the party supported those affected by the nation’s flooding tragedy.
“The ODM Party has formed a nine-person Disaster Response Team to coordinate a response and relief efforts to the ongoing crisis in response to the National Flooding Crisis,” the party’s statement stated.
The people that make up the group are Benson Musungu, James Nyikal, Hamida Kibwana, Abbas Khalif, Eddy Gicheru, Nasra Nanda, Peter Imwatok, and Mishi Mboko.
Raila’s home region of Nyanza will be represented by James Nyikal from the Seme Constituency and Gicheru, the incumbent senator from Migori.
The committee will be led by Likoni Member of Parliament Mishi Mboko, who will work from the Coast region.

Imwatok, the Majority Leader, Nasra (MCA), and Khalif (MCA) will represent Nairobi.
Musungu is a member of the committee in his position as a youth director, whereas Omanyo represents Busia County as a woman.
Days after saying that the party will take the lead in raising money for flood victims, Raila announced the creation of the committee.
Raila said in his letter to ODM members that certain party leaders had already organized fund-raising activities.
It appears that ODM is spearheading a simultaneous mobilization effort alongside the Azimio la Umoja alliance, which has put out a comparable proposal.
Kalonzo Musyoka, the principal of Azimio and Wiper Leader, urged Kenyans to donate money on Wednesday to make sure that flood victims received more than the Ksh10,000 that the national government was providing.
Raila led the Azimio coalition, although he was noticeably absent from the news conference.
