Speaking publicly, Sifuna declared his loyalty before both God and party supporters, emphasizing that he has never wavered in his stance.
“I want to swear before Almighty God and before you as my witnesses that in the position I have held, I have not taken up arms because Raila does not raise people to be afraid,” Sifuna stated, highlighting his dedication to non-violence and steadfast leadership.
The remarks come amid heightened political scrutiny within ODM, with some speculating about internal disagreements and leadership dynamics. Sifuna’s declaration reinforces his position as a loyal party official, signaling to supporters that he remains committed to the party’s values and direction under Raila Odinga.
Political analysts note that statements like these are often aimed at reassuring the public and party members of a leader’s credibility, particularly during periods of internal tension or external criticism.
