The ODM leader said his late brother had no choice but to calm the delegates by saying that Sifuna had the democratic right to oppose the party’s position.

“What I knew was that Raila Odinga was not happy with what Sifuna was doing. In particular, you can remember that just a few months before he died, Sifuna embarrassed Kakamega. He organized some youths who were acting like hooligans, shouting ‘Sifuna, Sifuna’ and shouting ‘one term, one term’ at him. Raila had no choice but to stand up and say that Sifuna had a democratic right. You could clearly see the shame he had at that time,” Oburu he said.

The Siaya senator revealed that he confronted Sifuna the next day and warned him about his habit of organizing youths to embarrass Raila.

According to Oburu, the Orange party has witnessed many leaders like Sifuna and there is nothing unique about the Nairobi senator that can worry him heading into the 2027 General Election.

“The next day, I answered Sifuna. I told him, ‘Do you think you are so important that you cannot be removed? We have seen many people like you in our political life, and we know how they end up.’ So nothing unique is happening now that has never happened before.
