Reconstitution of the Cabinet threatens to split ODMThe ongoing reconstitution of the cabinet is threatening to split Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Party (ODM). ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna on Tuesday said the party is not negotiating with the Kenya Kwanza government for any coalition or political arrangement but focusing on a national conversation for a better Kenya. The party warned its members against making themselves available for Cabinet appointments, in an announcement that has added confusion in ODM’s plans to work with the government under the proposed ‘broad-based government’. In a statement, party Secretary General Edwin Sifuna revealed that some of their members were already canvassing for Cabinet and other government appointments. On the other hand, Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament Peter Kaluma has contradicted the ODM secretary general about claims that the party is disinterested in the Cabinet appointmentsRead more:Confusion rocks ODM as Raila allies jostle for Cabinet postsRaila Odinga: I am not desperate to join William Ruto’s government
