Sisi Ndio Sifuna Movement Storms Nakuru

Leaders allied to the Sisi Ndio Sifuna Movement faction of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) on Sunday held a series of public engagements in Nakuru.

The group began the day with a church service at Kivumbini PAG Church in Nakuru Town East before proceeding to a political rally at Mazembe Grounds in Nakuru Town West, where they addressed supporters for the better part of the day.

Siaya Governor James Orengo, one of the key figures in the faction, said the engagements are part of ongoing consultations aimed at safeguarding the party’s future.

In an emotional appeal, the senator said development projects could not replace lives lost, arguing that Ojwang would not benefit from markets and other facilities built by the government.

Sifuna also accused President Ruto of intruding into ODM affairs, claiming the agreement required UDA to respect other parties in the arrangement.

He further dismissed government promises on fuel prices, likening them to “taking Ksh40 and giving back Ksh10” while expecting applause.

At the same rally, Siaya Governor James Orengo urged Kenyans to resist what he described as dictatorial leadership, saying the time to reject President Ruto was now and not in 2027.

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino questioned the government on jobs, health care and education, saying they were everyday concerns for struggling citizens.

Babu also claimed the government promised a road from Rironi to Mau Summit would create jobs for youths, but alleged the work was being done by Chinese workers, including prisoners, instead of Kenyans.
