The NRM deputy spokesman Ofono Opondo revealed that the party’s Central Executive Committee has stayed the nomination fees charged by the party’s polls commission from all party members wishing to stand for any post.

Addressing journalists today, Opondo added that the party chairman has not stormed out of any CEC meeting as reported by various sections of the media. He also noted that the party does not bar any member from contesting as an independent in case they are defeated in the primaries and have not fully got satisfaction from the party’s mediation committee.

Opondo continued to distance the party from reports raised by party lawyers that the party chairman has rejected the fees and independents but the party calls for harmony among members.

Many party members wished to contest the fees set by the party for those wishing to contest for any post.
