 Linda Mwananchi leaders in a meeting

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Siaya Governor James Orengo, and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino convened a high-level meeting alongside other Linda Mwananchi leaders to discuss the country’s political direction.

In a statement, Orengo said the meeting focused on charting the way forward amid what he described as growing indifference by the government, particularly following the recent attack on Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi.

“Despite the blatant attempts at intimidation by the state machinery, our resolve remains unshaken,” Orengo stated.

He reaffirmed that the ODM-linked dissenting faction would not be intimidated into abandoning its agenda, insisting that their mission to advocate for Kenyans would continue.

Orengo further confirmed that the Linda Mwananchi team will proceed with its planned rally in Nakuru, expressing confidence in public support.

“They tried to silence us, but they forgot that the voice of the people is the voice of God. Let us meet in Nakuru. Nani WANTAM!” he said.

Leaders present at the meeting included Suba South MP Caroli Omondi, Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi, and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi.

The group condemned the recent attack on Osotsi, who was assaulted by unknown individuals in Kisumu, and called for accountability.

Sifuna urged authorities to conduct thorough investigations and bring those responsible to justice. He also maintained that the Linda Mwananchi faction will proceed with its planned rallies in Kisumu and Homa Bay, daring those behind the attacks to desist.

Separately, Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o condemned the incident and called on the national government to guarantee the safety of all Kenyans, including leaders critical of the current administration.
