Robert Alai relates to the Recent Words of the president
The ODM de facto leader, Raila Odinga, recently insisted that his party does not form any part of the current government. Further, he confirmed that the party shall field a candidate in the coming general elections.
Raila’s sentiments have been echoed by the ODM party officials like Senator Edwin Sifuna and Governor James Orengo. On the contrary, Ruto appeared to hint the way the newly found partnership shall transcend even beyond the 2027 elections.
On Saturday, April 12, Ruto seemed to school Sifuna, who currently serves as the Secretary General of ODM. The president showed his anger at Sifuna’s constant attacks on the government. Ruto, as the founding member, warned Sifuna that he might team up with his fellow founding members for a disciplinary action.
“Sifuna, when you speak about me, know that I am a founding member of ODM, so tread carefully,” Ruto asserted.
Additionally, Ruto stated, “We are the ones who found this thing, so if you push too much, I will convene a founder members conference. If we convene, we can discipline you. So let’s tread carefully.”
