Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna vehemently responded to Professor Makau Mutua's call for his resignation as ODM party's Secretary-General. The exchange, which played out on social media on Wednesday, August 20, saw Mutua describe Sifuna's position as "untenable," suggesting he should step down due to perceived internal party rifts.

• Sifuna accused Makau Mutua of hypocrisy, referencing Mutua's recent appointment to coordinate compensation for victims of protests and riots.
• The Senator challenged Mutua, stating, "One would imagine that crown to be so heavy as not to allow the wearer time for anything else, let alone worrying about the SG of ODM."
• President William Ruto announced Mutua's appointment and a 120-day framework for the compensation.
