  ODM Press Briefing Today: Sifuna Speaks Volumes Amid Party Confusion NAIROBI, July 29, 2025 — Declaring ODM “in confusion,” Secretary‑General Edwin Sifuna today confronted growing criticism over the party’s ideological drift and its coalition with the Ruto administration, delivering a rare mix of apology, defiance, and urgent clarity. 🔍 ODM's Ideological Drift and Mixed Messaging Sifuna acknowledged that even he now struggles to articulate ODM’s position on core issues—including devolution, civil liberties, and constitutional rights—because of mixed messaging coming from party cadres who have joined the Kenya Kwanza government. “You used to wake me in the night and I’d tell you exactly what ODM stands for,” he lamented. Now, with senior members contradicting the party line, “it’s very difficult … to discern the position … on major issues”   🙇 Apology to the Party Base In a rare admission, Sifuna apologised to ODM’s grassroots of over 5 million members for the confusion ...

A Nation at Crossroads: The National Integrity Alliance Condemns Escalating Brutality, Demands Leadership Accountability By Evans Munene Muguna | 1st July 2025 --- Kenya stands at a perilous juncture. The promise of constitutional democracy is increasingly being betrayed by an unchecked culture of state violence, institutional impunity, and a dangerous erosion of public accountability. This is the urgent warning from the National Integrity Alliance (NIA), following a press statement released today, 1st July 2025. In a strongly worded condemnation, NIA decried the escalation of state-sponsored brutality during the peaceful protests held on 25th June 2025. The protests, largely driven by youth voices calling for justice and reform, were met with abductions, arbitrary arrests, sexual violence, and even the deployment of armed goons allegedly aligned with law enforcement. The Alliance painted a harrowing picture of how civic dissent is now being met with force, fear...

Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Mohamed Amin, has dismissed reports suggesting that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is under investigation in relation to the violent scenes that erupted during the June 25 anniversary protests. Speaking to the media on Monday, Amin denied the reports, saying, "It is not true that we summoned Gachagua."  However, he made it clear that the former Deputy President, like all citizens, is not above the law.  “He does not enjoy any immunity from prosecution. If in our investigations he is found to have aided or abetted any criminal activity, then appropriate action will be taken,” Amin stated. Providing an official update on the violence witnessed last Wednesday, the DCI boss described the events of June 25 as a tragic hijacking of peaceful protests by coordinated criminal elements.  "What began as a peaceful demonstration turned into violence, orchestrated by well-organized actors who invaded the protests...

  Chapter 3: Whispers of the Past The morning sun broke through the banana leaves outside the mud-walled house, spilling light on the faded portrait hanging on the wall — a black-and-white photo of Kasongo's parents, stiffly posed in their wedding attire. He stared at it in silence, his mind swirling with questions that his aunt never quite answered. It was market day in Kibugu, and the village was already humming with life. Kasongo helped Mama Njeri carry a basket of mboga and tomatoes to the matatu stage. On their way, they met Mzee Kimani, who walked with a carved rungu and spoke in proverbs like the elders of old. "Mwana uiraga na tha" (A child grows with love), he said, placing a gentle hand on Kasongo’s shoulder. “But love without truth is like ugali without sukuma – tasteless.” Kasongo didn’t quite understand what the old man meant, but the words lingered. Later that day, while browsing through old trunks in the attic of the family home, he discovered a bun...
