A section of ODM legislators from the Western region has issued a stern warning to the party leadership, threatening to walk out if Secretary General Edwin Sifuna is not shielded from sustained internal attacks over his stance on the Kenya Kwanza government.
Speaking during a delegates' meeting at the Golf Hotel in Kakamega on Friday, the MPs rallied behind Sifuna, saying he was being unfairly targeted for speaking the truth about President William Ruto's administration. "We will not sit back and watch Sifuna be sacrificed for telling the truth.
If the party cannot protect its Secretary General, then some of us will have to reconsider our position in ODM," said Budalang'i MP Raphael Wanjala.
The MP insisted that Sifuna's criticism of government excesses represents the official position of the party and should not be misconstrued as personal attacks or indiscipline. "Some people want to silence Sifuna for speaking the truth.
