NAIROBI, Kenya: Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang has criticised Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, accusing him of setting a poor example for young people through what he described as repetitive political messaging.
Kajwang questioned Sifuna's leadership approach, arguing that the Senator repeatedly uses public speaking opportunities to promote the phrase "Mimi Ndio Sifuna" (I am Sifuna).
Speaking about Sifuna's political messaging, Kajwang said the Senator had been given time to demonstrate his leadership but appeared to have little beyond his personal slogan whenever he addressed public gatherings.

"We gave him time and all he can say whenever he gets a microphone is Mimi Ndio Sifuna. At my age, how can I follow someone whose only message is Mimi Ndio Sifuna?" Kajwang remarked.
The Ruaraka MP further accused Sifuna of setting a bad example for young people, questioning the kind of political leadership and messaging being presented to the younger generation.
His remarks add to the ongoing political debate surrounding Sifuna's public profile and his role in the country's evolving opposition politics.
Sifuna, who serves as Nairobi Senator and ODM Secretary-General, has increasingly featured in national political discussions, particularly amid conversations about opposition leadership and the 2027 General Election.
Kajwang's comments highlight the differences emerging among political leaders over leadership styles, political communication and the direction of the opposition movement.
