Babu Owino, member of parliament for Embakasi East, revealed that a power-sharing agreement with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna was not honored during the formation of the current government. The deal, which Owino claims was previously agreed upon, reportedly outlined a division of responsibilities between the two political figures.
Owino accused Sifuna of failing to uphold the terms of the agreement, which he said was meant to ensure cooperation between their respective political factions. The dispute has led to legal action, with Emmanuel Khamala, a petitioner, filing a case at the High Court to block the delegates conference of the Linda Mwananchi party.
The court has ordered a stay on the conference, pending the outcome of the legal challenge. The case centers on whether Sifuna’s party is authorized to hold the delegates meeting, with Khamala arguing that the senator’s involvement in the event is unlawful.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions between political leaders in Nairobi, with allegations of broken agreements and legal disputes complicating the political landscape. The resolution of the case could have significant implications for the party’s internal structure and future political strategies.
