NAIROBI, Kenya, May 4<\/strong> \u2013 Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga has lashed out at Governor James Orengo over his repeated attacks on President William Ruto\u2019s Kenya Kwanza administration, exposing simmering tensions within the ODM party over its cooperation with the government.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At an interdenominational service in Migori County, Senator Odinga stressed that ODM\u2019s engagement with the Kenya Kwanza government is a collective party decision anchored on a ten-point agreement, not personal ambition, aimed squarely at delivering services to Kenyans.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour Excellency is that we are in broad based government, not as individual members of parliament, and not as individual senators. We are here there, in this broad based government as a result of a resolution of our party, ODM and the party signed a 10 point agreement with the government,\u201dsaid Odinga.<\/p>\n

Senator Oburu urged Governor Orengo to step down from ODM if he no longer supports the party\u2019s decision to work with the Kenya Kwanza administration, arguing that continued criticism from within undermines the party\u2019s unity and amounts to internal sabotage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are annoyed, who think that this broad based government is not right. They are actually vomiting on us from within. Why don\u2019t they get out and vomit from our without? Because we want our our party ODM, to have a nice smell, and we want to move on with our people,\u201dthe Siaya Senator stated.<\/p>\n

He further criticized leaders within the Raila Odinga-led outfit who, in his view, prioritize political posturing over tangible development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the time to serve your people. It is not the time to fight for their rights more than what they eat? Which right are you fighting for more than the road? Which rights are you fighting for more than the hospital? Which rights are you fighting for more than the water?\u201dhe posed.<\/p>\n

Governor Orengo, a seasoned politician and close ally of ODM leader Raila Odinga, has been vocal in his criticism of President Ruto\u2019s administration. He has accused the government of economic mismanagement, asserting that Kenya\u2019s economy is deteriorating under Ruto\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Orengo intensified his criticism of President William Ruto\u2019s administration, highlighting concerns over governance, human rights, and the direction of the ODM party.<\/p>\n

Governor Orengo labeled ODM\u2019s potential collaboration with the Kenya Kwanza government as an \u201cabomination\u201d and a \u201cdisaster,\u201d arguing that such a move would betray the party\u2019s principles and the sacrifices of its supporters. He emphasized the need for justice for victims of anti-government protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot at a time we are mourning our people and some are scrambling for positions; this cannot happen,\u201dhe stated.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
