Kaluma Threatens to Expel Sifuna from ODM Over Raila-Ruto Handshake Stance

 Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna on Tuesday, July 23, was warned that his position at the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) was in jeopardy. 



This was after Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament Peter Kaluma accused Sifuna of using his powers as Secretary General of the opposition party to allegedly post misleading information. 

Kaluma was incensed after a statement signed by the ODM Secretary General explained that ODM politicians would not accept ministerial appointments from President William Ruto. 

According to the Homa Bay Town MP, this was not what the Raila Odinga-led party had agreed during their last meeting.

“This is not what the ODM Party resolved in the last meeting. Please communicate the true Party position or we sack you, with immediate effect,” Kaluma threatened. 

Kaluma's sentiments were part of a growing division within the ODM party over the proposed dialogue between President William Ruto and Raila Odinga. 

Members of the National Assembly belonging to the opposition party have been seen as more receptive to working with the Head of State.
