Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has dismissed claims that the 10-point agenda between ODM and the Kenya Kwanza administration has been delivered on, taking particular aim at the event staged at the KICC to unveil the findings.

Sifuna on Wednesday, March 11 argued that the oversight committee failed to meet its March 7 deadline for submitting a final report, a date he maintained also signalled the expiry of the agreement itself.

Rather than releasing the report to the public as expected, Sifuna claimed the committee chose to brief a carefully selected audience in what he termed a “charade.”

“What we witnessed yesterday was a shameful charade meant to trick the public that the MOU had been implemented,” he said, insisting that nothing could be further from the truth.

He alleged that the KICC event was itself marred by disorder, with certain attendees openly questioning the President over the report’s contents.

Sifuna also claimed that President Ruto sought to extend the committee’s mandate by a further 60 days, a position he said sat in direct contradiction to ODM’s Oburu Oginga, who had publicly stated that no deadline existed for implementing the agreement.

The senator further argued that the ODM Parliamentary Group had no authority under the party’s constitution to sanction such decisions, saying that both the agreement and its oversight mechanism were the domain of ODM’s National Executive Committee.

Any attempt to extend the committee’s mandate, he declared, was unconstitutional, null and void.

Sifuna insisted that the agenda’s implementation must be measured against tangible outcomes rather than assumption.

He highlighted the outstanding concerns around abductions, alleged extrajudicial killings, county revenue sharing, and the preservation of political parties’ identity and integrity.

He criticised the committee for pivoting late in its term to countrywide public participation exercises, arguing that accountability should have been extracted directly from the executive.

“The resolution to the 10 agenda items lay squarely with the regime of President William Ruto,” he said, contending that the committee ought to have been “domiciled at State House” demanding answers.

Sifuna announced that his faction would be releasing what he called a “true report,” one built on public participation, scrutiny of government and parliamentary records, surveys, emails, phone feedback, judicial rulings, and input from civil society and independent bodies.

“What we are presenting to you here is not something we just sat somewhere and created,” he said, framing the exercise as a rigorous, consultative and “scientific” process guided by a clear methodology.
