Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo has asked former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to respect Kenya’s security agencies.
He says that institutions such as the National Intelligence Service, the Kenya Police Service, and the military play a vital role in safeguarding the country’s sovereignty and should not be used as pawns in political battles.
Odhiambo who spoke during a meeting with women in his Gem constituency, stated that those agencies should not be undermined whatsoever, noting that anybody who does so is not only irresponsible but poses a risk to national stability.
He criticized Gachagua for allegedly using social media influencers to target senior government officials, including Interior Principal Secretary Dr. Raymond Omollo, labeling such actions as disheartening and destructive.
The MP further dismissed Gachagua’s ongoing U.S. tour, where he is reportedly engaging only with Kenyans from the Mount Kenya region, suggesting this undermines national unity.
On matters of party loyalty, Odhiambo defended ODM leader Raila Odinga’s stance on the Broad-Based government, calling on the party’s Secretary General Edwin Sifuna and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi to respect party leadership.
He challenged them to resign and seek alternative political platforms if they were uncomfortable within ODM, reiterating the as ODM party, thy are in the Broad-based government to stay.
