Peter Salasya Fires at Sifuna: “Resign from ODM and Come Back Home,Can’t Fight Government You Part Of!”
Mumias East MP Peter Salasya has stirred political waters again. This time, he’s training his guns on Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna. In a passionate social media post, Salasya asked Sifuna to quit the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), citing betrayal and fading relevance.
“Leave ODM Before It Sinks,” Salasya Warns Sifuna
On Saturday, April 12, Sifuna sharply criticized President William Ruto’s administration during a public function. Speaking boldly in Ruto’s presence, Sifuna slammed the government over the harassment of Butere Girls students following their performance of the Echoes of War play.
While empathizing with Ruto, he didn’t hold back.
“Bishop has told us here that your work is very difficult, and I agree with him,” said Sifuna.
“Sometimes I wonder how you sleep. But as the Swahili say, mwiba wa kujitakia hauwambiwi pole. There are people in your government who keep making mistakes.”
Despite the applause Sifuna received, Salasya didn’t share the sentiment.
Salasya: “ODM Is in Bed with the Government”
Salasya questioned Sifuna’s logic. According to him, one cannot criticize a government that their own party is secretly supporting.
“Edwin Sifuna, my brother from Western, come back home! Step down as ODM SG,” he urged.
“You can’t oppose a government your party sleeps with. ODM’s days are fading, & so are yours if you stay.”
These words ignited online reactions, with many Kenyans weighing in on the state of opposition politics.
Frustration Over Political Betrayal
Salasya’s fury isn’t only directed at Sifuna. He also accused Raila Odinga and President Ruto of colluding to remove him from a key parliamentary committee. Recently, Salasya was kicked out of the Departmental Committee on Regional Development.
He sees the move as politically motivated.
“The National Assembly isn’t independent anymore,” Salasya posted.
“It’s now a playground for selfish deals between Raila and Ruto.”
This statement has fueled claims that the handshake politics are back, with hidden alliances shaping parliamentary dynamics.
Is ODM Still the People’s Voice?
Salasya believes ODM has lost its voice as an opposition party. His remarks reflect a growing frustration among younger leaders who feel sidelined by long-standing party figures.
With the 2027 elections looming, the battle lines are being drawn early. And for Salasya, it’s time for new beginnings and clear political directions.
