Sunday, May 4, 2025 - Raila Odinga’s elder brother and Siaya Senator, Oburu Odinga, has publicly criticized Siaya Governor James Orengo for opposing ODM’s alignment with the Kenya Kwanza government.
Oburu told Orengo, who has been a vocal critic of the
broad-based Government to quit the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) if he
cannot support the party's decision.
Speaking during a church service in Migori County on Sunday,
May 4th, Oburu accused Orengo of undermining ODM's support for the
broad-based Government formed following a recent MoU between Raila Odinga and
President William Ruto.
“I am a truthful man from Siaya, and it pains me when my own
Governor says he’s angry and wants to speak the truth.!”
“What truth is that? The real truth is that we are part of
the broad-based Government,” Oburu said.
He added that those within ODM opposing the arrangement
should leave the party.
Orengo has consistently rejected the Kenya Kwanza deal,
arguing it violates constitutional values and sets a dangerous precedent.
“The law can never be suspended... I pray that ODM
withstands any storm,” Orengo stated.
Oburu defended the MoU, saying stakeholders were fully
consulted.
Alego Usonga MP, Samuel Atandi, and Treasury CS, John Mbadi,
echoed Oburu’s sentiments, accusing Orengo of derailing development and
pledging full support for the new political arrangement.
