So hereโs the latest episode in what feels like a political telenovela:
Nairobi MP Esther Passaris has come out swinging at none other than Edwin Sifuna, and letโs just sayโฆ she did not come to whisper. She brought a megaphone.
According to Passaris, Sifunaโs time as Secretary-General of Orange Democratic Movement was less โsmooth operatorโ and more โkeyboard warrior with WiFi on full signal.โ Sheโs accusing him of serving vibes instead of discipline, claiming his leadership style allegedly undermined party structures and occasionally treated party unity like it was optional homework.
And wait, thereโs more.
Passaris says there were moments when the partyโs captain himself, Raila Odinga, had to personally step in. Yes. Personally. As in, not โtell someone to tell someone,โ but direct โmy son, please relaxโ energy. Apparently, Raila reached out several times urging Sifuna to tone down his public posture for the sake of party unity.
Imagine Baba making the call like:
โHello Sifuna, itโs me again. Can we reduce the heat from 100 to maybe 60? Just small small?โ
But according to Passaris, the thermostat remainedโฆ enthusiastic. ๐ก๏ธ
She paints a picture of a Secretary-General who sometimes operated like he had unlimited data bundles and zero mute button. The concern? That the bold, chest-out style may have weakened party discipline and left some structures wobbling like a three-legged stool at a nyama choma joint.
Now, whether you see Sifuna as fearless truth-teller or certified political firecracker depends on which side of the WhatsApp group youโre in. But one thing is clear, this isnโt your average โwe wish him well in his future endeavorsโ kind of statement. This is political shade with SPF 50.
And Kenyans? We are here for the plot twists.
Because in our politics, even internal party meetings sound like season finales.
What do you think, good people?
Is it healthy accountability?
Or is this just premium-grade political drama served fresh before election season reheats everything?
Discuss respectfullyโฆ but donโt forget to bring your popcorn.
