Top ODM Party Official Names a Broad-based Govt CS Who Might Complicate Things For Ruto in 2027

Kisii Governor and Orange Democratic Movement Party’s Deputy Leader Simba Arati has warned President William Ruto that CS Oparanya will complicate his re-election bid.

Speaking during an ongoing Linda Ground tour rally in Kakamega, Arati expressed fears that Oparanya, since joining the Cabinet, has become a thorn in the flesh of the ODM and Kakamega unity at large.

Arati has openly warned Ruto to call his house in order and urge Oparanya to stop isolating Kakamega and the Western region at large.

Na wewe Mheshimiwa Oparanya. Nataka nikuulize, ndugu yangu, wewe ni waziri. Na nataka nimuulize Rais Ruto, huyu ni waziri wako. Kama anataka ukue na term mbili, ni akuje waongee na Barasa waakikishe kwamba Western region iko kitu kimoja....

"Mniskize vizuri. Nataka nimuulize Mheshimiwa Oparanya, tafadhali wewe na Barasa, kwa sababu ya Kakamega, naomba tafadhali, na tutaulize Mheshimiwa Ruto ya kwamba huyu ni umbwa yako ambayo tumekupea.

"Unajua ilikuwa umbwa yetu ile kubwa, ambayo tumekupatia. Aambiwe arudi watengeneze Kakamega na Barasa," Simba Arati said.
