"It Was Raila Odinga’s Wish" MP Says Ruto Might Be Impeached Like Gachagua If ODM Party Does This

Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang has warned that President William Ruto’s government could face impeachment if the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) decides to end its cooperation with him.

Speaking recently, Kajwang said ODM’s support has been the backbone of Ruto’s administration since the passing of opposition leader Raila Odinga.

He explained that the party agreed to work with the president in line with Raila’s wish to keep Kenya stable and united.

According to the senator, ODM’s presence in both the National Assembly and Senate is what currently protects Ruto from political turbulence.

“If ODM pulls out, Ruto might not survive. The numbers in Parliament would easily allow for his impeachment,” Kajwang said, hinting that the president’s fate could mirror that of former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua, who was removed from office in 2024.

Kajwang added that Raila Odinga had advised against toppling leaders through political games, saying such actions only divide the country further.

“We are in government to stabilize it, not to destroy it,” he said.

He also reminded critics that ODM’s participation in government has brought development to Nyanza, a region that had long been sidelined.

“Our aim is to ensure our people also benefit from national resources,” he noted.

The senator dismissed claims that ODM’s involvement should guarantee them the deputy presidency or other top positions.

Instead, he said the party would focus on tangible benefits such as agriculture, infrastructure, and the blue economy.

Kajwang said ODM will review its partnership before the 2027 elections and make decisions based on what each political player offers.

“We’ll weigh the options when the time comes. Our support isn’t unconditional,” he said.

Defending outspoken leaders like Babu Owino and Edwin Sifuna, Kajwang said their differing views make ODM stronger.

“A choir sounds better with different voices,” he said.

He concluded by stating that Raila had wanted ODM to back the broad-based government until 2027 to give Kenya time for healing and stability.

“Supporting government doesn’t mean keeping quiet when things go wrong. We must still speak for the people,” Kajwang said.
