Mbadi expresses commitment to community development

The February 8 effort emphasized a common solidarity in improving education infrastructure in the region, highlighting the importance of the leadership that goes beyond politics.
Mbadi used the opportunity to ignore Sifuna's authority within the ODM, reminding him of how he quickly removed former party secretary, Ababu Nwamba.
“You still say Sifuna tells them he is the ODM? Gladys, listen, go tell him that I don't chew that the chair he is holding I drove and took it within an hour. Even he, we will drive him out, ” Said Mbadi, showing the possibility of tension within the party.
These remarks come at a time when ODM is going through major internal changes following the formation of a broader government consisting of various political parties.
