    "content": "as the Secretary General was null and void, as it was a contravention of the law and the constitution of the party. These persons have since filed an appeal at the High Court, of which the court is yet to make a ruling. The failed attempt of my removal from the party triggered a series of sustained malicious acts of blackmail, intimidation and cajoling directed at my person, and my supporters. I believe that the real reason behind all these intrigues disguised as “party discipline” is motivated by those forces against divergent opinion, my belief in democratic tenets, rule of law and my strong political stand on matters of national importance, particularly the National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition politics, including my consistent and unwavering support of the handshake between his Excellency the President, Uhuru Kenyatta and the NASA Leader, Raila Odinga Finally, I wish to reiterate that I will not be intimidated by those bending the party constitution and circumventing the law to suit their narrow selfish interests. Though there has been an attempt to impugn my character and disrupt the carriage of my duties as an MP, I will remain strong, believing that justice is on my side. I wish to end by stating that ANC party shall not be hijacked by people who do not share the vision of the founders of the party. To this end, I will, in the near future, commence processes to restore sanity, the rule of law and democracy in the party. Thank you."
