Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has jeered at remarks made by Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo, when she complained about the increasing cases of mysterious deaths in police custody.
Millie Odhiambo had on Sunday, June 15, 2025, lamented a case in which a man was reported to have lost his life after getting booked in a police station in Homa Bay County.
“These deaths in police cells cannot go on. Albert Ojwang’s case is not solved; they have now killed Mr. Onditi from Ndhuru, in my constituency. Yet another death in Homa Bay County. Then they are giving the stupid story of suicide yet again,” Millie-Odhiambo said in a statement on Sunday, June 15, 2025.
Her remarks were quickly responded to by Amisi, who appeared to indicate that the ODM brigade had made a deal with the state and deserved every bit of inconvenience that comes with the arrangement.
Ganged up against Amisi
“You guys ganged up against me and fought me like kaongo wantam . My major mistake was that I opposed broad-based government. Now you want us to join you in crying, out of your myopic short-term self-aggrandisement. In case you are still grand confused, that is how the rogue regime works. Enjoy while it lasts,” Amisi remarked.
The ODM legislator has been among the voices in the party who have been opposed to the March 7, 2025, broad-based arrangement between President William Ruto’s UDA Party and ODM.
On May 4, 2025, just days after the assassination of ODM MP Charles Ong’ondo along Ngong Road, Amisi called on ODM to exit the broad-based arrangement.
He went ahead to urge the lawmakers allied to ODM to stop what he termed as celebrating and supporting regimes that kill and abduct young people.
Abduction cases
“My colleagues in parliament must come to the realisation that even their political masters they worship daily against the pain, frustrations and suffering of Kenyans, will disappear into thin air when they come for them. Parliament must press the independent button as a matter of urgency to save Kenyan democracy. Hon. Were’s death should not be in vain,” Amisi stated.
“Please stop celebrating and supporting regimes that kill and abduct young people. @TheODMparty must and should stop this broad-based nonsense with immediate effect. Coalitions of unlike minds have never solved issues in any democratic outfit before. Ruto is not foolish. He is slowly finishing ODM from within, and you will have no one to cry to. This is for your own good. Kenya needs a renaissance!” he wrote on X.
ODM has donated some of its party’s ranking leaders to serve as Cabinet Secretaries in the Kenya Kwanza, and members of the opposition party are now chairing committees which ordinarily are a preserve of the ruling party or coalition.
