Edwin Sifuna Calls for Love After Kahiga’s Remarks on Raila: “Baba Taught Us”
By David Aduda | OndaveWrites
Kenya’s political landscape has once again been stirred — not by campaigns or policy debates, but by words that touched the very soul of the nation.
When Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga made shocking remarks celebrating the reported death of Raila Amollo Odinga, the country erupted with anger and disbelief. Videos of the governor’s comments spread like wildfire across social media, drawing condemnation from both citizens and leaders.
But amid the storm, ODM Secretary General and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna chose a different path — the path of peace.
“We know there are those who hated Baba, but it’s still shocking to hear it. Mutahi Kahiga is easily the vilest of the bunch, but Baba taught us to always respond with love. If he were still around, the next thing you would see is him having lunch with Kahiga,”
— Edwin Sifuna.
Sifuna’s calm and compassionate tone reminded Kenyans of what Raila Odinga stood for — forgiveness, unity, and dialogue. Even in death, Raila’s lessons continue to guide how his supporters respond to hate.
💬 A Nation Divided but Still Listening
Governor Kahiga’s remarks, made during a burial in Kieni, were widely condemned. Leaders like Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga demanded that Kahiga be removed as Deputy Chair of the Council of Governors (CoG), while others called for his impeachment.
Yet, rather than fueling the flames, Sifuna’s statement offered something Kenya badly needs — healing. His words reminded the country that love and maturity are stronger than bitterness.
❤️ Lessons from Baba: Forgive, Unite, Build
It’s easy to react in anger. It’s harder — and nobler — to respond with love.
Raila’s political journey, filled with both victories and betrayals, taught generations of Kenyans that leadership is not about vengeance, but vision.
Sifuna’s tone channeled that same vision. In a time of political heat, he turned to humanity — showing that true leadership shines most when tempers flare.
