On November 30, 2019, Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi made it clear that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) will not accept any constitutional reforms proposed by the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report if they are done through parliament and not by a referendum.
Speaking at the burial of Eric Oloo, a correspondent with The Star in Ugunja constituency, Wandayi stated that the party will ensure reforms are only done through a referendum.
Wandayi's statement came ten days after Oloo's body was found in the house of Chief Inspector Sabina Kerubo in Ugunja. The journalist's murder has sparked outrage, with Wandayi and Ugenya MP David Ochieng calling on the police to ensure thorough investigations are done.
Wandayi and Ochieng faulted the manner in which the probe into Oloo's murder is being conducted, stating that they will continue to monitor the progress of the investigations.
"We will push the DCI to ensure the family gets justice. An innocent citizen cannot meet his death in the house of a law enforcement agent and nothing is done," Wandayi said.
