Sifuna is out.

In a dramatic move that has sent shockwaves through Kenya’s political scene, ODM has officially removed the Nairobi Senator as the party’s Secretary General following a decisive National Executive Committee meeting at Chungwa House.

The meeting, chaired by ODM National Chairperson Gladys Wanga and attended by party leader Oburu Odinga, adopted recommendations from the party’s Internal Disputes Resolution Committee, sealing Sifuna’s fate.

Acting Secretary General Catherine Omanyo confirmed that the NEC unanimously endorsed the committee’s findings, effectively ending Sifuna’s tenure as ODM’s chief administrator.

The decision comes just days after the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal ruled that Sifuna had not been given a fair hearing during an earlier attempt to remove him. However, the tribunal also made it clear that ODM was free to initiate fresh disciplinary proceedings provided they followed the law and the party constitution.

ODM says Sifuna was given several opportunities to respond to allegations against him but chose to communicate through his lawyers.

The latest development exposes deepening cracks within the Orange party. Sifuna has been one of the strongest critics of ODM’s growing cooperation with President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, a position that has increasingly placed him at odds with influential figures inside the party.

With his removal now official, attention is shifting to what comes next for Sifuna and whether the move will further intensify the power struggle unfolding within ODM ahead of future political battles.

A major showdown is brewing in court as Health CS Aden Duale has been ordered to personally appear before the High Court over allegations that the government ignored court orders and continued construction of the controversial US-backed Ebola facility in Laikipia.

Justice Patricia Nyaundi summoned Duale to appear on June 23 at 11:00 a.m. after the court found that work on the project may have continued despite conservatory orders stopping further construction.

The explosive case was brought by Katiba Institute, which accuses the government of defying the judiciary by pushing ahead with the Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base.

According to court documents, concerns were also raised over missing environmental and social impact assessments, as well as the lack of clear safety contingency plans linked to the project.

Katiba Institute argued that continuing construction despite court orders undermines the rule of law and violates constitutional requirements on public participation and environmental protection.

The KSh1.75 billion facility has sparked intense debate across the country. The project, funded through a larger US-East Africa health assistance package, is intended to strengthen Ebola preparedness and includes plans for a 50-bed quarantine unit for Americans potentially exposed to Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Despite the controversy, the government insists the project is about strengthening Kenya’s health security and maintaining preparedness against possible regional outbreaks.

All eyes are now on the High Court as Duale prepares to explain why the government allegedly failed to comply with the court’s directives in one of the most closely watched legal battles surrounding the Ebola facility.

It started with a video. Calm tone. Direct eye contact. And an apology that instantly split the internet.

Sammy Kioko’s sister is now trending after posting a public apology over the messy KSh19 million dispute involving Wavinya Ndeti. The clip shows her owning up to how the situation was handled and confirming she had already met the governor for talks.

That video? It blew up fast.

Within hours, TikTok edits, reposts on X, and WhatsApp forwards had people picking apart every word. Some praised the apology as mature and overdue. Others weren’t buying it.

One comment summed up the mood: “So now we apologize after going public?” Another user wrote, “This feels like pressure, not accountability.”

Receipts didn’t help. Screenshots of earlier posts and statements started resurfacing. People pointed out contradictions. Some even claimed parts of the original narrative had quietly disappeared online.

Then came the meeting photos.

Images of her sitting down with Wavinya Ndeti shifted things slightly. The setting looked formal. The tone looked controlled. No drama on the surface. But online? Still chaos.

Supporters of the governor praised her for staying composed and agreeing to talks. Critics questioned why the dispute escalated to this level in the first place.

So far, no long statement from either side beyond the apology and confirmation of the meeting. No clear breakdown of the KSh19 million issue either. That silence is keeping the story alive.
