Politicians Clash Over NG-CDF, Regional Compensation, and Ethnic Profiling - August 2025

A section of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Members of Parliament have publicly criticized their party leader, Raila Odinga, over his proposal to transfer the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) to counties. In a separate matter, Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya issued a stern warning to Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, accusing them of lacking political independence and relying on President William Ruto's goodwill. Additionally, Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has demanded compensation for victims of criminal and terror activities in Kenya's North Eastern regions during the previous administration. In response to political rhetoric, former Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has strongly condemned what he describes as increasing ethnic profiling targeting the Mt Kenya community, urging leaders to cease divisive rhetoric.
