ODM MP Slams Colleagues for Arrogance Towards Kenyans During Public Addresses
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has cautioned opposition leaders against displaying arrogance when addressing the public.
On Tuesday, December 3, Amisi reminded his colleagues that while they might benefit from the government, the sacrifices made by opposition supporters transcend their political careers.
The ODM legislator emphasized that opposition leaders can express their opinions without disrespecting the people.
“I urge my opposition colleagues to stop projecting arrogance and self-importance when speaking to Kenyans. While you may personally gain from the government, never forget the decades of struggle and sacrifices endured by opposition supporters, which far outweigh any individual’s political journey.

“You can voice your opinions without insulting the very citizens who grant you legitimacy. Such behavior tarnishes our political movement’s reputation and undermines its relevance to future causes. Please exercise discretion,” Amisi said.
Amisi’s statement follows comments by National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed, who accused certain individuals of hindering the government’s ability to deliver services.
While speaking in Taita Taveta County on Monday, Junet likened governance to a household, arguing that decision-making does not require unnecessary approvals.
“A government is elected to drive development. If hurdles are constantly placed in its way, how will it achieve its goals? In a household, when a man decides to act, he might consult his wife but not his children, father, or grandfather. This interference must stop,” Junet remarked.
