Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna delivered a stern message to his Kisumu counterpart, Tom Ojienda warning him of dire consequences if he quits ODM.
Speakinf during the burial of Ojienda’s mother in Nyakach Constituency, Sifuna advised Ojienda to remain in the ODM party, warning that his political aspirations could be jeopardized if he aligns too closely with the Kenya Kwanza government.
He claimed that Ojienda is being misled by politicians from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to ensure his failure in future elections.
“Those around you are deceiving you to ensure your failure. Allow me to be candid. Should you venture outside this party, leading Kisumu will be out of reach for you,” Sifuna warned.
As the Secretary-General of ODM, Sifuna disclosed that he had sent 86 letters to ODM MPs, urging them to oppose the Finance Bill 2024.
He criticized Gideon Ochanda, the Bondo lawmaker, for justifying heavy taxes under the pretext of infrastructure development and the permanent employment of junior secondary teachers.
“I have written and signed 86 letters to MPs urging them to refrain from travelling outside the country until they vote against the oppressive bill affecting Kenyans,” Sifuna added.
