Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General, Edwin Sifuna, has publicly apologized to former President Uhuru Kenyatta over recent insults directed at him by some ODM leaders.Speaking on Tuesday, December 30th, during the burial of former Cabinet Minister Cyrus Jirongo in Kakamega County, Sifuna sought to ease tensions between ODM and the former Head of State.“Because I’m still the ODM Secretary General, I want as the spokesperson to apologize to you, Uhuru Kenyatta, and ask for forgiveness on behalf of our Party for the insults you have been receiving from various ODM leaders,” Sifuna said.The Nairobi Senator expressed disappointment that some members had turned against Uhuru despite his role in supporting Raila Odinga’s presidential ambitions.“They have forgotten the much support you offered Raila Odinga when he vied for presidency.”“Now they want to cut the hand that fed them,” he remarked.Sifuna also expressed gratitude to the former President, acknowledging his friendship with Raila.“As I apologize on behalf of the thoughtless, I also want to say thank you to you.”“Thank you for supporting Baba Raila Amolo Odinga, who always said you were among his few true friends,” he added.Addressing accusations that he was trying to align ODM with Uhuru, Sifuna defended himself against critics allegedly courting President William Ruto.“There are people holding meetings in Kilgoris, trying to sell ODM to William Ruto. We called them out, and suddenly they are pointing fingers back at us, that I’m trying to sell ODM to Uhuru,” he said, challenging them to provide evidence.His apology comes amid recent attacks on Uhuru by ODM leaders, including Chairperson Gladys Wanga and Minority Leader Junet Mohamed, who accused him of sowing discord within the party.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Siaya Governor, James Orengo, has dismissed rumours surrounding his health following recent absence from the public.Speaking during an interview with a local television station, Orengo insisted that he was in good health and had spent time visiting friends in India while attending to personal matters.“I am well, but I was in India, in New Delhi, where I spent some time with friends. I then went to Hyderabad, where I also have a number of friends who live there,” he explained.The Governor noted that his trips to India were not unusual, as he has previously travelled there for both personal visits and medical examinations.He recalled that years ago, while visiting Chennai, a friend encouraged him to explore Hyderabad, describing it as a modern and rapidly developing city.Addressing the speculation directly, Orengo confirmed that he underwent routine medical check-ups during his stay, something he said he regularly does in different Indian cities including Chennai, New Delhi and Mumbai.“While there, I went for medical check-ups, which I normally do.”“I have gone to Chennai, New Delhi and Bombay before, and it was just that,” he said.Orengo added that he deliberately chose not to respond to rumours while away, preferring instead to return and let the public judge his health for themselves.“I thought instead of answering rumours, I should just present myself so that people can make up their own minds,” he concluded.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Kisumu Woman Representative, Ruth Odinga, has strongly dismissed claims by businessman, Oketch Salah, that the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga privately warned him about Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna being a mole within the ODM Party.In a statement, Ruth rejected suggestions that Raila engaged in secret conversations, stressing that the ODM leader was known for his openness and consistency in communicating his positions.“Raila Odinga was not a gossiper. He would speak with everyone regardless of their position in society, and this is a story those who knew him understand pretty well,” she said.Ruth challenged individuals claiming to have held exclusive discussions with Raila on sensitive matters, describing such assertions as false and misleading.“Anyone telling Kenyans that Hon. Raila had a series of private conversations with him on a wide range of issues is lying, and must be called out.”“Jakom had a way of speaking his mind and would make public his stand on national issues,” she added.She further emphasized that Sifuna enjoyed the same relationship with Raila as many other young leaders within ODM and should not be singled out.“Talking of Baba’s sons, Nairobi Senator and ODM SG, Edwin Sifuna, was equally his son and used to talk to him.”“So no one should claim to have been closer to Raila than everyone else,” Ruth said.Her remarks came after Salah, who claims to be Raila’s adopted son, during a stopover at Kondele on Christmas Eve, alleged that Raila had privately warned him about Sifuna’s loyalty.Salah claimed Raila described Sifuna as “someone else’s dog” and accused the Senator of undermining ODM even before Raila’s death.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Former Vihiga County Senator, George Khaniri, has revealed that he may have been among the last people to speak with the late politician and businessman, Cyrus Jirongo, before his untimely death.Speaking during Jirongo’s burial ceremony in Lumakanda, Lugari Constituency, Kakamega County, on Tuesday, December 30th, 2025, Khaniri gave a moving account of his final phone conversation with the former Lugari MP.“I think I must be among the last people to speak to him on the phone,” Khaniri told mourners, adding that the call took place around 11:00 pm, just hours before the tragic accident.He said the conversation lasted about three minutes.Khaniri recalled asking Jirongo where he was at the time, to which the former legislator responded with words that now carry a haunting weight: “Niko mahali uliniacha” (I am where you left me).According to Khaniri, Jirongo was seated at Oasis in Karen, Nairobi.Later that night, Khaniri passed by the location and saw him with National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and two other individuals.“Mheshimiwa Jirongo alikuwa ameketi pale na ndugu yangu Spika Wetang’ula na wengine wawili,” he said, noting that he did not join them as he had other commitments.Jirongo’s life was cut short in a road accident on Saturday, December 13th, 2025, at Karai along the Nakuru–Nairobi Highway.Rift Valley Regional Traffic Commander Sara Chumo confirmed the accident occurred at around 3:00 am when Jirongo’s Mercedes-Benz collided head-on with a bus.He sustained fatal head injuries and died instantly.
