Three Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) members have been removed from parliamentary committees in a move sanctioned by a faction within the party, raising concerns about the party's internal dynamics.

• The removals targeted Suba South MP Caroli Omondi, Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi, and Kisumu Woman Rep Ruth Odinga.
• The initiative for the removals was reportedly spearheaded by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
• This action has led to speculation that the ODM risks being perceived as solely a Luo party, potentially alienating other demographics.

Kenyan opposition leaders have vowed to obstruct President William Ruto's administration's plans to sell government stakes in key state entities.

• The opposition leaders, including Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, and Eugene Wamalwa, are targeting the privatization of companies like Safaricom, Ketraco, and JKIA.
• They argue that selling these assets is akin to "selling out our birthright" and will disproportionately benefit a select few.
• The opposition has also criticized the administration's handling of the economy, healthcare, and education, accusing it of impoverishing citizens and moving towards dictatorship.

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.
