Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has slammed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna following his remarks on Thursday, May 8, while appearing on Citizen TV’s Daybreak show.
In a statement, Salasya demanded respect from the ODM Secretary General, saying he is a self-made leader.
The Mumias East lawmaker told off Sifuna, and alleged that the Nairobi Senator would not survive in politics without the hand of Raila Odinga.
“Edwin Sifuna You have a degree in law; I have a degree in banking and finance .You are a Senator and I am a member of parliament. You come from western I come from western. The only difference Between me and you am a self-made leader while you were given by Raila Odinga and you can't survive in politics without Raila so respect me am your presidential candidate .
“Too much English shouldn't make you arrogant, take it to court, not into politics. And by the way, my PA, Elvis Anguche, is also a lawyer, just like you,” said Salasya.

Sifuna while speaking on Citizen TV clashed with Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda over the 10-point MoU between Ruto and Raila.
Sifuna told Ojienda not to behave like Salasya but to read the agreement and understand it better.
“I can forgive Salasya for refusing to read this document and assuming Sifuna signed it, but I cannot forgive Professor Ojienda,” Sifuna said.
He added, “ You are a professor of law, please don’t behave like Salasya. Read the document so that you can understand and explain it to your people.”
During the discussion, Senator Sifuna explained that the broad-based government idea existed before the MoU between Ruto and Raila was signed.
He argued that CSs John Mbadi, Hassan Joho, Opiyo Wandayi, and Wycliffe Oparanya did not join the Ruto cabinet because of the MoU.
“The so-called broad-based animal started existing in Ruto’s mind before this document was signed. It was signed on February 7, 2025, by that time, Mbadi, Joho and the other were already in the cabinet,” Sifuna stated.
