I strongly disagree with the advisors around Edwin Sifuna who continue to misguide him into wasting time under the guise of “keeping ODM in check” through endless internal ups and downs.
History offers clear lessons from leaders who made bold, decisive moves:
When Raila Odinga parted ways with Kijana Wamalwa, he formed his own party and consolidated Nyanza, along with a significant portion of Western Kenya. From then on, he commanded that region for decades.
When Uhuru Kenyatta walked away from KANU and formed TNA, he rallied the entire Mt. Kenya region behind him and went on to win the presidency despite the ICC case hanging over him.
When William Ruto felt sidelined in Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration, he mobilized the Rift Valley, formed UDA, and capitalized on divisions in Mt. Kenya to build a winning coalition.
In all three cases, success was anchored not in national excitement, but in firm, loyal backyard support.
Today, what Sifuna appears to enjoy is national hype and visibility, but such euphoria does not always translate into actual votes.
In Western Kenya, where he should be dominant, the reality is different. The region is politically fragmented, with leaders like George Natembeya, Musalia Mudavadi, Moses Wetangula, Eugene Wamalwa, Cleophas Malala, and Bonny Khalwale ,each commanding influence through their own parties and ideologies.
Even as Sifuna gains national attention, he risks falling short at home, where these leaders continue to shape and divide the Mulembe vote.
Instead of engaging in prolonged internal battles within ODM, why not make a clean break, consolidate Western Kenya, and then build national partnerships from a position of strength?
Political momentum has a shelf life it does not last forever. The moment to act is now.
Let Sifuna make hay while the sun shines.
@HammerHamm026 Most will attack this post not because it’s wrong, but because they’d rather wear masks and pretend @edwinsifuna is always right.
Sifuna has a historic chance to build a party stronger than ODM, yet he’s busy fighting it and wasting precious time.
There’s folks who came at me with the poverty clause as justification for destroying public property…
Wale wa msamehe pia… like I wrote, KENYANS DON’T DESERVE NICE THINGS…
Last evening, Kenyans listened to a press briefing by Mr. Kipchumba Murkomen, the CS in charge of a critical docket in the Republic of Kenya.
I am vindicated.
Kenyans are more convinced than ever before that my position has all along been true and factual; we have the most clueless Minister in charge of security since independence.
The man is lost in ideas, arguments and conclusions.
The first and most important duty of the police is deterrence of crime. Mr Murkomen argues that he has intelligence reports that goons were being organized to commit crimes today.
Interesting!
What has he done about it? If he is aware of their plans why can’t he stop them? Is he unwilling to stop them or he lacks capacity or what does he want ordinary Kenyans to do if he is crying as the CS for Interior?
Since he is aware that goons will be destroying property, will he allow it to happen then arrest people later or hold another presser and report them to Kenyans?
Why is he unwilling to give a categorical answer that police will protect property and the state-sponsored millitia that him and his colleagues have organized and will not be allowed to cause violence?
He carelessly says that politicians from the opposition are organizing goons; Why can’t he arrest these goons?
He further asserts with authority that leaders allied to Government will be attacked; I trust he has made arrangements to protect them and their properties though they already have Government armed security.
As if that isn't unintelligent enough, he adds that some Bussinessmen will be attacked for refusing to finance politicians. Since he knows them, then he must make arrangements to protect them.
It is my take that since the Government knows goons will attack citizens and Bussiness, then it should not happen since the Government has sufficient capacity to stop it and arrest the goons while in action.
Unfortunately and sadly so, the real goons will not be arrested because they are organized by Government.
The Police have clear instructions to allow goons wreck havoc and only intervene later by arresting innocent people. Leaders in the opposition will be arrested later for allegedly financing the attacks.
There will be stage-managed attacks on leaders allied to Government and accuse opposition leaders of inciting people against them. The script is so clear. Blame the opposition and get the affected leaders some sympathy.
Let Mr. Murkomen stop the goons since he has confirmed there will be goons attacking people.
It is his work.
What does he want ordinary Kenyans to do? It will not happen. The whole thing is his plan.
He has recruited, financed and deployed the goons to cause mayhem and later blame the opposition. If he hasn’t, they there will be no goons and there will be no violence.
It is common knowledge among Kenyans, because they are intelligent, that if goons were organised by the opposition, they would not be let to get anywhere near citizens' property. They would be shot on sight and others arrested. Goons terrorize Kenyans with impunity and never arrested because they are state goons.
That is why they move in police vehicles and walk with the police. No wonder Mr. Murkomen is so kind to them that he calls them watchmen!
And in any case, the National police service is supposed to be independent. The Minister should comment on policy. IG is in charge of operations.
Why is Mr. Murkomen discussing police operations?
He has taken over the National police service and created parallel command. He has introduced goonism in the police service. He has forced police commanders to work with goons!
Mr. Murkomen, do your work. Do not forget that ICC is beckoning you and your masters.
This is a simple thing.
Produce your own publication countering all the "in 6 months.." promises that were front page of the newspaper.
Just go bar for bar and show how they were wrong. You don't have to tweet as if you are entirely helpless. Haha.
@georgediano@JohnnyGachanja@kipmurkomen
Why instruct citizens to go work and then send police to block the roads? This is the height of incompetence and contradictory governance.
Bodies were collected and pilled up in police trucks like gabbage. People were haunted in their residential areas and killed for fun.
June 25th should forever live with us, it reminds us of the bandits we have in office and who MUST GO!
After MPs criticized the Finance Bill, 2026 in public, 308 of the 348 MNA APPROVED it. 186 avoided Parliament, 122 VOTED for the Bill. 40 stayed in the Chambers and VOTED per their conscience. 2027 is next year. Kenyans will hold relevant political parties/MPs accountable.

The hopes, livelihoods and future of over 55 million people must never be held ransom by the ambitions of a few seeking political office…Please don’t lie and say your hands are tied. Act.
Good morning young Kenyans 🇰🇪.
We have a story to remember and we deserve recognition during mashujaa day.
