Political temperatures rose in Meru County after ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna delivered a fiery speech during the Linda Mwananchi rally, where he appeared to respond directly to criticism surrounding his controversial “mshenzi” remarks.
Addressing the gathering, Sifuna defended his choice of words, insisting that his remarks were made in response to what he considered provocative and insulting criticism directed at him.
The outspoken politician maintained that he was capable of answering his critics in the same language and tone used against him.
His remarks drew loud reactions from supporters, further energising an already charged political gathering.

The ODM official has increasingly emerged as one of the vocal figures in opposition politics, frequently taking on government leaders over issues ranging from the economy and governance to the political direction of the country ahead of the 2027 General Election.
His appearance in Meru came amid heightened political activity by the Linda Mwananchi movement, which has been mobilising supporters across different parts of the country.
The “mshenzi” controversy has nevertheless remained a major talking point, with some critics accusing Sifuna of using inflammatory language, while his supporters argue that he was responding to provocation.
Sifuna’s latest response is likely to keep the debate alive as political leaders increasingly turn up the rhetoric ahead of the 2027 elections.
