Kileleshwa Member of County Assembly (MCA), Robert Alai, has publicly castigated Winnie Odinga following her remarks that certain ODM leaders are planning to “sell” the Orange party.

Winnie Odinga, who was part of the delegation celebrating ODM’s 20th anniversary in Mombasa, made waves when she stated that some party leaders pretended to be loyal during the day but were “at night sleeping with the competitors.”

Alai took to his X account (formerly Twitter) to express his sharp dissatisfaction with Winnie’s claims, specifically addressing the implications of her language.

The MCA questioned her authority to issue such warnings: “Winnie Odinga doesn’t have the political experience to give anyone direction in ODM. She isn’t even a party official.”

He further argued that her lineage does not grant her the right to insult other female leaders:

“The fact that you are daughter to Baba Raila Odinga doesn’t give you the right to insult female leaders in ODM that they are sleeping with Ruto to sell the party in bedrooms. Your claim to the throne is because of the bloodline and not because of any unique thing you have done. Shameful to see you insult fellow women leaders.”

Alai condemned her use of gendered insults to score political points: “It’s extremely surprising that a woman would use the bedroom stereotypes on a fellow woman to score a political point.”

The lawmaker described Winnie’s statements as “Unfortunate.”
