Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has fired a passionate salvo at the heart of Kenya’s political alliance, urging former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to withdraw completely from his deal with President William Ruto. In a strongly worded message, Amisi called on Raila not just as a party leader but as a national icon, telling him the time had come to rescue his legacy from the ruins of association with a flailing regime.
Amisi’s message, delivered in an open and emotionally charged post, reflected a deep sense of urgency. According to him, the so-called broad-based government experiment between ODM and UDA is already a failed project—and Raila risks being remembered not as the father of reform, but as the man who stayed too long at the wrong table.
In his plea, Amisi emphasized that Raila owed no allegiance to Ruto or any of the power brokers behind the current coalition. Rather, his duty was to the nation—and to the generations who still look up to him as a symbol of resistance and progress.
“You owe nobody anything,” Amisi declared. “If anything, Kenya owes you. But this, Baba, this must not be the final chapter in your political history.”
The MP challenged Raila to direct all ODM-aligned leaders still cooperating with the government to step down and rejoin the fight for national renewal. According to Amisi, only by removing themselves from what he described as a compromised alliance can Raila and his team help build the momentum needed to force Ruto out of office.
Amisi didn’t mince words in assessing President Ruto’s leadership. He accused the head of state and his allies of steering the country into crisis, calling their governance “tone-deaf” and out of touch with the magnitude of pain ordinary Kenyans are experiencing.
While Raila had previously signed onto a Memorandum of Understanding with Ruto in May—promising joint efforts to tackle major issues like the cost of living, corruption, and youth unemployment—Amisi argued that little has changed. Instead, the alliance has become a liability, dividing ODM internally and confusing its support base.
Drawing from Raila’s past dealings with former Presidents, Amisi made it clear that the current partnership was not like the others. Those alliances had purpose, results, and context. This one, he argued, has none. Instead, it is being used to mute dissent and sanitize a government struggling to hold legitimacy.
“This one could be the final straw, Baba,” he warned. “It could stain everything you’ve worked for. Don’t let it.”
Amisi’s words carry weight—not just because of his party affiliation, but because they reflect a growing restlessness within ODM’s grassroots. The idea that Raila, the man who once led mass movements and shook regimes, is now too close to power, is unsettling to many.
Ultimately, Amisi’s message is as much about Raila’s legacy as it is about Kenya’s future. He believes there is still time for the ODM leader to take a stand, retreat from the government arrangement, and lead a movement that can rescue the country from what he sees as impending political decay.
“Join us in removing Kasongo,” he said, using a nickname widely interpreted to mean Ruto. “Kenya needs a renaissance. You’re still the man to spark it.”
