Speaking during a public engagement, Sifuna suggested that some individuals within ODM had previously expressed reluctance to associate with certain political figures who are now serving in senior government positions.
He used the remarks to illustrate how political positions and alliances can change significantly depending on evolving circumstances and shifting interests in the political landscape.
“Najua kwa nini mnatushuku. Kuna watu pale ndani ya ODM walikua wanasema, ‘Siezi onekana na Kasongo.’ Sai yeye ni waziri,” Sifuna said.
His statement appeared to reflect on how political figures who were once dismissed or avoided are now occupying influential roles within government, underscoring what he described as the fluid nature of political relationships.
Sifuna’s comments come at a time when political realignments and shifting alliances continue to dominate national discourse ahead of the next general election cycle.
Although he did not mention specific individuals, his remarks were widely interpreted as a reference to past internal discussions within ODM regarding associations with other political actors.
The former ODM Secretary General has in recent months been vocal on issues of political consistency, party unity, and the importance of acknowledging changing political realities without denying past positions.
His statement is expected to generate debate within political circles, especially among leaders who have been part of ODM’s long and often complex political journey.
Observers note that Kenyan politics has frequently been characterized by shifting alliances, where former rivals often become partners in government or coalition arrangements depending on prevailing political interests.
