ODM communications director Philip Etale has sharply criticised Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna following the recovery of Ksh 250 million allegedly linked to a senior Nairobi County official.
The money was recovered during investigations by the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission, raising fresh questions about accountability within the county government.
Etale questioned why the senator had remained quiet while claims of corruption and misuse of public funds continue to dominate headlines in the capital.
He argued that Nairobi residents expected stronger oversight and a louder voice from leaders elected to protect public resources.
According to Etale, the latest scandal reflects a deeper problem within the county administration, where public confidence has steadily declined due to repeated allegations involving questionable deals and financial misconduct.
He challenged Sifuna to explain what measures he has taken to push for transparency and reforms at City Hall.
The remarks have sparked debate among political supporters and critics alike, with some defending the senator while others insist leaders must take responsibility when such scandals emerge under their watch.
The recovery of the funds has once again placed Nairobi County at the centre of a national conversation on corruption, accountability, and the struggle to restore trust in public institutions.
