So hereβs 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 letβs just sayβ¦ she did not come to whisper. She brought a megaphone.
According to Passaris, Sifunaβs time as Secretary-General of Orange Democratic Movement was less βsmooth operatorβ and more βkeyboard warrior with WiFi on full signal.β Sheβs 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, thereβs more.
Passaris says there were moments when the partyβs captain himself, Raila Odinga, had to personally step in. Yes. Personally. As in, not βtell someone to tell someone,β but direct βmy son, please relaxβ 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:
βHello Sifuna, itβs me again. Can we reduce the heat from 100 to maybe 60? Just small small?β
But according to Passaris, the thermostat remainedβ¦ enthusiastic. π‘οΈ
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 youβre in. But one thing is clear, this isnβt your average βwe wish him well in his future endeavorsβ 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 respectfullyβ¦ but donβt forget to bring your popcorn.
