Ruth Odinga is the currently serving Kisumu County Woman Representative having been elected during the 2022 general elections through ODM.
Kisumu County Woman Representative Ruth Odinga has issued a stern warning against internal political maneuvering as the country approaches October 15, accusing opportunists within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) of prematurely focusing on event arrangements and party logistics.
The lawmaker expressed sharp frustration over internal factions she characterized as prioritizing political positioning, logistical contracts, and ceremonial setups rather than focusing on genuine party unity and core principles.
Her public criticism highlights growing internal tensions and debates over resource allocation and campaign management within the party structure.
Odinga questioned the origin and distribution of significant funds used to supply branded tents, plastic chairs, vehicles, and public address equipment for recent high-profile rallies.
She voiced concern that non-transparent spending risk compromising the party’s independence and underlying democratic ideals.
The remarks draw attention to a widening rift among party officials regarding accountability and operational oversight.
Odinga insisted that senior party leaders must account for external financial influence and ensure all mobilization drives remain grounded in collective decision-making rather than driven by self-interested organizers seeking commercial or political advantage.
Calling for immediate administrative discipline, the Woman Representative urged party organs to reject speculative planning and focus on transparent governance ahead of upcoming political milestones.
Her statement underscores a broader push within the movement to maintain structural integrity, safeguard internal democracy, and prevent opportunistic interests from dictating the political agenda as key national timelines approach.
