ABOUT SIFUNA
Senator Edwin Sifuna represents the kind of leadership many Kenyans are yearning for. At a time when political convenience has led many leaders into silence, he has consistently stood firm, speaking out on issues of national importance and defending the interests of ordinary citizens.
As a lawyer by profession, the current Senator for Nairobi City County, Deputy Minority Whip in the Senate, and the longtime Secretary-General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Edwin has built an undeniable reputation for integrity, courage, sharp conviction, and issue-based politics. He embodies a new generation of leadership possessed with the vision and resolve to confront Kenya’s structural challenges.
​Beyond the floor of the Senate and his legal practice, Edwin is a dedicated family man. He remains deeply rooted in the community and is an ardent sports enthusiast, ever missing a chance to catch up on football and passionately cheer on AFC Leopards and Chelsea FC.
PARLIAMENTARY AND LEGISLATIVE PERFORMANCE
Sifuna has built a reputation as an outspoken oversight champion, effective legislator, and independent party administrator. Ranked among the Senate's top 7% for participation, he has consistently pushed for stronger county funding while holding governors accountable for public spending, resource allocation, and service delivery.
LEADING FROM THE FRONT
Sifuna has earned a reputation as one of Kenya's most outspoken defenders of constitutional rights, consistently placing himself at the forefront of the fight against police brutality and state repression.
Beyond the streets, he has leveraged his legal expertise and legislative platform to challenge unlawful arrests, enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial violence, demanding accountability from security agencies and insisting that victims receive justice through the courts rather than token compensation.​
THE SHIELD
"Can I just promise you I will not kill your children for expressing themselves?" Sifuna once said.
During the Generation Z protests, he physically confronted armed police to shield unarmed demonstrators.
​
Senator Sifuna has heavily criticized President Ruto's administration for failing to protect young Kenyans, even questioning the legitimacy of a government that allows such actions. He has condemned the rise in fatal police shootings, particularly during protests, and accuses the government of exploiting unemployed youth for political gain before turning on them.​
BABA
The late Raila Amolo Odinga schooled and nartured brave souls. He instilled in his followers a deep sense of political consciousness, resilience and a stubborn hope for democracy. He fostered a strong belief in the power of the people to hold leaders accountable and framed politics as a liberation struggle against corruption, inequality and authoritarianism. Baba's spirit is alive and kicking. The enduring influence of his political legacy lives on in his graduate students. He would be proud. Continue resting in eternal peace Baba.
