A funeral service has erupted into a political battleground, as President William Ruto and ODM’s Edwin Sifuna traded explosive barbs, leaving onlookers stunned! The setting: the somber funeral of Raila Odinga’s longtime aide, George Oduor, at Ramba High School in Siaya County.
Sifuna, seizing the moment, launched a scathing attack, demanding Ruto purge his administration of “saboteurs” who are consistently embarrassing the government. He pointed to the incendiary “Echoes of War” play scandal at Butere Girls High School, where students were tear-gassed and their performance shut down, following the arrest of playwright Cleophas Malala.
“Mr. President,” Sifuna thundered, “your job is a minefield, I get it. But your own people are digging the holes! The Nakuru fiasco? Children tear-gassed, their performance crushed? That’s a self-inflicted wound! Those who make your life harder need to be dealt with!”But Ruto wasn’t about to take the hit lying down.
He completely ignored the Butere Girls incident and instead, delivered a chillingly sarcastic retort, reminding Sifuna of his own deep roots within the ODM party.”Sifuna,” Ruto sneered, “you speak with such conviction. But remember, I’m an ODM FOUNDER! Tread lightly!”He then delivered a thinly veiled threat, sending shivers through the crowd.
“We built this party. And if you push me too far, I’ll call a meeting of the founding members… to DISCIPLINE you. So, let’s all just calm down.”The tension was palpable! Was this a playful jab, or a sinister warning?
Did Ruto just threaten to unleash the ODM’s old guard against one of its current leaders? The implications are staggering!The nation is reeling from this unprecedented public clash. A funeral, a place of mourning, turned into a political arena, highlighting the deep divisions and raw power struggles within Kenyan politics.
This shocking confrontation raises serious questions: Is Ruto’s administration imploding from within? Is the ODM on the verge of a civil war? This is a developing story, and the political fallout promises to be explosive! Stay tuned for more updates!
