Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has finally spoken following explosive claims by Suna East Member of Parliament Junet Mohammed that he is plotting to destabilize the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party after the death of its leader, the late Raila Odinga.
On December 24, 2025, Junet Mohammed, who is also the Minority Whip in the National Assembly, stunned residents of Suna East and the nation at large after alleging that Uhuru had promised some individuals within ODM up to KSh 1 billion to influence the party’s exit from the broad-based administration and join the United Opposition.
According to Junet, he was taken aback after being informed by one individual in Kisumu about the alleged plan to weaken ODM from within.
Junet further claimed that those allegedly involved had been promised more political and financial incentives if they succeeded in breaking ODM away from the current arrangement with President William Ruto.

He added that Uhuru was allegedly presenting himself as a unifying figure who would eventually “make ODM stronger,” a claim Junet firmly dismissed.
The outspoken ODM legislator insisted that the party remains firmly in the broad-based government and will continue engaging President Ruto on key national issues.
He emphasized that ODM will only negotiate its political future with Ruto as the country moves closer to the 2027 General Election, warning against attempts to sow divisions within the party.
Amid growing public debate and political tension triggered by the allegations, Uhuru Kenyatta has finally broken his silence. However, the former president avoided addressing the claims directly.
Instead, he focused on sending a Christmas message to Kenyans, wishing them peace and happiness during the festive season. Uhuru also urged motorists to exercise caution on the roads to avoid accidents during the holiday travel rush.
His brief message has left Kenyans speculating, with many awaiting a clearer response to the serious allegations that continue to dominate political discourse.
