The cracks in opposition leader Raila Odinga's ODM party over the political alliance with President William Ruto loomed large before the veteran politician as key members of his party clashed over support for Ruto's administration.

While several of Raila's allies have thrown their weight behind the push to support the Kenya Kwanza administration, hardliners continue to voice opposition and have vowed to keep questioning the government's excesses.

This came to the fore as the party's top brass attended the burial of Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) chairperson Roseline Odede in Rarieda, Siaya County.

Yesterday, ODM Secretary-General and vocal government critic General Edwin Sifuna said he would not be cowed into silence about the government's excesses.
