Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has called on members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to stop pushing for protests, saying that constant agitation will only slow down the party’s progress.
Speaking during a Wednesday morning interview on Ramogi TV, Mbadi warned that unnecessary demonstrations could reopen old political wounds that many Kenyans are still healing from.
Mbadi explained that protests have in the past brought pain, division, and tension, especially during moments when the country was trying to move forward.
He noted that while expressing dissatisfaction is normal in politics, turning every disagreement into a street protest is not the best way to solve problems.
According to him, the party should avoid actions that may remind the public of difficult moments experienced during past political struggles.
He urged ODM members to pause and reflect on the main reason the party was formed.
Mbadi reminded them that ODM was established to represent the hopes and dreams of its supporters and to provide leadership that brings unity and change, not conflict.
He pointed out that every political movement must offer solutions and direction, rather than relying on confrontational methods.
Mbadi added that there are better ways of resolving disagreements within the party.
He encouraged members to engage in dialogue, sit together, and openly discuss any issues they may have.
He stressed that most conflicts can be settled through honest conversation and a willingness to listen to one another.
According to him, shouting in the streets does not build a strong party understanding each other does.
