ODM leader Raila Odinga has moved to quell the wrangles among his foot soldiers over the co-operation between his party and President William Ruto's UDA party.

Yesterday, the ODM leader defended his long-term allies Siaya Governor James Orengo and his Kisumu counterpart Anyang Nyong'o, who have launched criticisms against President Ruto's regime.

Orengo, has been under fire from a section of ODM leaders who have accused him of going against the party's wishes by speaking against the broad-based government.

A section of professionals from Nyanza have even threatened to sponsor his impeachment.
