“Today, All of You Have Let Baba Down Badly” Caleb Amisi Challenges ODM Leaders

Honorable Caleb Amisi did not hold back in his critique of ODM leaders during today’s commemoration of the party’s 20th anniversary.

Speaking passionately, he told those present: “Today, all of you have let Baba down badly. Unfortunate to the enigma.”

His words struck a chord with many, highlighting a growing concern over the direction of the party.

Amisi urged every leader who spoke at the event to pause and reflect: “Ask yourselves, would your speech have been the same if Baba was alive?”

His comments suggest a deep sense of disappointment that some leaders may have strayed from the values and vision instilled by Raila Odinga, affectionately known as Baba.

The veteran politician also emphasized the need for a broader renewal, not just within ODM but across the country.

“Kenya needs a renaissance, and the ODM party needs a renaissance too,” he said, calling for introspection, unity, and a recommitment to principles that prioritize the people over personal ambitions.

Criticizing what he described as oversharing, Amisi noted, “It was not necessary to wash all the linen in public. At least keep some for the washing machine at home.”

The remark pointed to moments during the celebration when internal disputes and personal grievances appeared to overshadow the party’s collective achievements.

Amisi’s challenge is clear: for ODM to remain relevant and true to its founding values, leaders must exercise restraint, reflect on the legacy of Baba, and focus on policies that serve ordinary Kenyans.
