3 ODM leaders sabotaging the broad-based government - Senator Cherargei
Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has launched a scathing attack on three senior Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders, accusing them of undermining the progress of the broad-based government.
Speaking on Thursday, April 24, Cherargei accused Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o, Siaya Governor James Orengo, and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna of actively working to derail the model championed by the Kenya Kwanza administration.
“Governor Nyong’o, James Orengo and Sifuna are saboteurs of the broad-based arrangement. They have been trying by all means to sabotage the broad-based government which has undermined its success and stability,” he claimed.
Cherargei’s claims come in the wake of Nyong’o’s remarks that President William Ruto’s regime has gone back to pre-devolution times of the Nyayo era.
In a statement on Tuesday, April 22, he argued that actions by the Ruto administration reflect leadership styles that predate the 2010 Constitution.
Nyong’o warned that such moves threaten the goals of building a democratic and developmental state.
“The truth is that the Ruto regime has decided to go back to pre-devolution times of the Nyayo era. The 2010 constitution is a hindrance to its primitive accumulation schemes, which will affect not only devolution but the very ethos of building a national democratic and developmental state,” he said.
On the other hand, during Raila Odinga’s bodyguard George Oduor’s funeral, Sifuna delivered a bold address aimed at Ruto, calling out what he described as self-inflicted difficulties in the Kenya Kwanza administration.

He drew attention to the recent Echoes of War controversy, urging the president to take control of his government.
“Like the Bishop mentioned, your job is very hard, and I agree with him because at some point I usually wonder if you get to sleep.
“However, there are some difficulties you have imposed on yourself. Like the drama we saw in Nakuru, where Butere Girls’ High School students were stopped from performing, that’s a problem you have imposed on yourself,” he said.
Speaking during the same event, Orengo declared he would not join the “praise-singing bandwagon” for the current government, calling for the need for honest discourse over uncritical support.
He cautioned that the country risked deterioration if leaders continued to avoid confronting uncomfortable truths.
“We can’t keep praise-singing all the time. If you keep praise-singing we will not have a country. So tell your leaders the truth. If you want something from the government, it is a matter of right. It is not a favour you are being given,” he said.
