The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has formally explained to the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) its decision to expel Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as party secretary-general, citing months of miscommunication, missed meetings, and contradictory public statements.

• ODM argues that Senator Sifuna failed to exhaust internal dispute resolution mechanisms before approaching the tribunal.
• Key issues include Sifuna's public statements on party positions, such as declaring the ODM-UDA MoU "dead," which contradicted earlier resolutions.
• The party also cited missed mediation and committee meetings, and the initiation of a parallel initiative ("Linda Mwananchi Initiative") instead of attending party-sanctioned events.

Several Members of Parliament, perceived as 'rebel' legislators from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party, have been moved to different committees in a recent reshuffling within the National Assembly.

• Notable MPs affected include Kitutu Chache South MP Antony Kibagendi, Suba South MP Caroli Omondi, and Kisumu County MP Ruth Odinga.
• Ruth Odinga was moved from the Agriculture Committee to the Members’ Services and Facilities Committee.
• Caroli Omondi was removed as chairperson of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee and reassigned.
• Antony Kibagendi was moved from the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education to the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee.

Suba South MP Caroli Omondi has been ousted as chairperson of the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) and moved to the Sports and Culture Committee. This follows changes to the National Assembly committee structure.

• Kitutu Chache MP Anthony Kibagendi, currently suspended, has been removed from the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education and reassigned to the CIOC.
• Newly elected Kasipul MP Boyd Were Ong’ondo will replace Kibagendi on the Public Investments Committee.
• Mr. Omondi alleges he was unfairly targeted by Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah and Minority Leader Junet Mohamed due to his outspoken opposition stance and recent appointment as Secretary-General of Azimio La Umoja.
