President William Ruto's decision to sign an executive order waiving the requirements for certain citizens from the border counties of the Northeastern region to be vetted before obtaining identification documents has continued to elicit mixed reactions with the latest being his newfound allies from the Orange Democratic Movement(ODM).

ODM, through its interim party leader Peter Anyang' Nyong'o, on Sunday directed its members to table the matter in Parliament when sessions resume next Tuesday.

This move is likely to be seen as a challenge to President Ruto, who has recently been vocal in defending his policy decisions.

According to Nyong'o, who was speaking during an ODM Western Region convention, the introduction of new laws on borders and boundaries poses a threat to the freedom of some citizens residing in border towns.
