Siaya Senator and ODM leader Oburu Oginga has resigned as chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, saying the reasons for his decision are beyond his control.

While announcing his resignation, Oburu insisted that he had not been pushed out of the influential committee and dismissed suggestions that there had been a coup.

“The reasons why I am vacating are beyond my own self-control. I have resigned. Nobody should say that I have been removed,” Oburu said.
