ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has accused Suna East MP Junet Mohamed of diverting funds meant to support Azimio’s 2022 election campaign. According to Sifuna, part of the money allegedly provided by former President Uhuru Kenyatta — did not reach ODM structures or campaign agents on the ground.
Sifuna claimed the missing funds were redirected elsewhere, raising serious questions about transparency and internal accountability within the coalition during the high-stakes election period.
Firm Response to Intimidation Claims
Amid speculation that his outspoken stance could cost him his position, Sifuna dismissed claims that he was under pressure or facing removal from the party. He maintained that no individual has the authority to force him out of ODM, portraying himself as firmly rooted within the party’s leadership.
His remarks appeared aimed at critics who have accused him of defying party hierarchy.
Sifuna also addressed persistent political claims that the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga endorsed President William Ruto for a second term. He categorically rejected the assertion, saying such claims are false and misleading.
The statement is likely to fuel further political debate, especially as succession politics and coalition realignments continue to shape national discourse.
The latest remarks have once again highlighted deepening divisions within ODM, with senior leaders increasingly trading accusations in public. As the party navigates its future direction, pressure is mounting for clarity, unity, and accountability from its top ranks.
