Lugari MP Nabii Nabwera criticized the party's leadership, telling Governors Nyong'o, Wanga, and Arati that the party is suffering from double-speak at the headquarters.
"We just need one direction, and we will work. It is also fraudulent that on one hand, we are admitting to working with President Ruto and on the other hand we are denying working with the government," said Nabii.
Navakholo MP Emmanuel Wangwe echoed the sentiments of Nabii, advising party members not to discuss matters that Raila Odinga is unaware of. This is to avoid infighting among party members regarding the party's alliance with the current government.
"We have sent experts in the government, and one of them is our son from Kakamega, and when I talk ill or oppose the same government that is benefiting one of our own, I will be asked why I am fighting my brother; the party will say I am not loyal. We therefore want one statement from the party headquarters so that we can have a clear direction of where we are going," said Wangwe.
Funyula lawmaker Geoffrey Mudenyo lamented that when one of the ODM leaders questioned the government, he or she was accused of sabotaging the government, and yet we are promoting democracy, urging the party not to gang up on members speaking out against the ill in the government.
Kakamega Governor Barasa said ODM is preparing the ground for forming the next government by opening offices in all 12 constituencies in the county to ensure all elected leaders will be elected under the orange party.
"ODM is the largest party, and we must prepare the ground for the party to form the next government and ensure Western is orange," said Barasa.
