“Baba built this movement on the foundation of values, democracy, equality, inclusion, and truth. ODM is not just a political party—it is a covenant. A covenant that we, the living, must now renew.

ODM Urges Ruto’s Government To Release Money Owed by Political Parties

During the meeting, ODM also requested the National Government to release the money owed by the party under the Political Parties Fund.

Sifuna said that the funds are important for maintaining operations and maintaining ODM’s basic activities. He noted that the best way to honor Raila Odinga’s legacy is to ensure that the party remains financially strong and that works to defend his ideas.

“We want to ask the National Government to be a part of the Constitution to fund political parties. There is a gap that looks like billions of money owed by the party. We believe that the best way for the government to respect Raila is to release the money owed by the party so that our activities can continue and the legacy of our leader can be found,” he said.
