Murkomen yesterday announced that Jumwa and Dori had hired him as their lawyers to appeal the decision by the Orange party's NEC to expel them.
The party wants to punish them for openly campaigning for Deputy president in the 2022 polls.
But the party has declared that the expulsion process against the two coast lawmakers an internal party process and that "it shall not admit any strangers in deliberations about the matter."
In his letter to the party posted on his twitter page, Murkomen accused the party of unfairness as "no political party has nominated any candidate for the election."
He also argued that the party's move stifles democracy in the country.
He cited a number of sections in the ODM's constitution as he built his argument, including articles 6, 7.1, 8.3.1, 8.4.2, 8.4.3 among others.
But the party's secretary general today dismissed the letter, saying that the quoted sections in Murkomen's letter "does not exist in the party's constitution."
He also said the party does not have an appeal mechanism for the decisions made by its NEC to its national governing council.
"There exists no mechanism of appeal of the decision of the Party's NEC to NGC," he said in the letter addressed to Murkomen.
Embarrassing
Sifuna said that it is embarrassing for the two MPs lodging an appeal of the decision to expel them to demonstrate that they do not understand its constitution.
"It is frankly embarrassing for your clients to claim to champions of the values and aspirations of ODM when they have no basic knowledge of the constitutive document of the party and is indicative of how far they have drifted from the mother ship," he said.
He advised the MPs and their lawyer to "take time to familiarize yourself with the constitution and the rules governing the Orange Democratic Movement to save yourselves from such ignorant misapprehension in future."
