According to Sifuna, the way Sing'oei dealt with sensitive regional issues had an impact on the vote cast in Addis Ababa.
The senator cited the tragedy that hit a veteran opponent of UgandaKizza Besigye, who was kidnapped in Nairobi and returned to Kampala in late 2024.

“There is one person who considers himself to be high and very arrogant, who is the Secretary -General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. , when he was kidnapped and sent back to Uganda, this relative was on television speaking empty. People were trying to silence us saying, 'Don't say this, you will ruin the relationship with Uganda,' that I could not condemn the kidnapping of Besigye, who is my close friend, because Museveni will not vote for me, “ Said I don't chew.
