Ndegwa Njiru has advised his younger brother, Kasmuel McOure, to evaluate his position within the ODM party before publicly addressing matters involving party official Wafula Sifuna.

In a statement shared on X on Friday, January 8, 2026, Njiru cautioned against rushing into political debates without fully understanding one’s own footing in the party.

“Moss moss my younger brother. You don’t have to hijack all opportunities that come your way. Are you well anchored in ODM in the first place? Check your degree of annexation first, before you address matters, Sifuna.” Ndegwa Njiru

The remarks come as political discussions around party loyalty and internal alignment intensify, with younger politicians increasingly voicing opinions on national leadership and party affairs.
Njiru’s statement underlines the importance of grounding oneself in party structures before engaging in public political commentary.

Kasmuel downplays Sifuna’s role within ODM

Orange Democratic Movement Youth League member Kasmuel McOure has singled out Secretary General Edwin Sifuna for attempting to overestimate his persona and position within the Orange party for his own personal gains.

Speaking to a local radio station on Friday, January 9, 2025, McOure downplayed the influence and importance of the embattled SG, describing his role as merely secretarial and subservient in the party hierarchy.

“I am against Sifuna trying to posture as if he could give us presidential direction; only the party leader can do that. He is subservient to higher offices within the party, and additionally, we have other people with brilliant ideas whom I have not attacked,” he stated.

He also explained his contention and basis for calling out the embattled SG amid an unclear stance on which direction the party will take regarding the 2027 elections, a subject that has been trodden by other ODM members.

“The Sifuna faction is the weaker but much louder within ODM. On the other hand, we in the faction leading President Ruto’s reelection bid are the majority and the ones winning the ideological war,” he stated.
