In a no-nonsense response, Odhiambo made it clear she\u2019s grown tired of what she calls \u201clazy\u201d online narratives that keep popping up every time she expresses a different opinion from some people in her party. Instead of debating her views, she says critics quickly turn it into something personal.<\/p>\n

According to her, the script is always the same. The moment she disagrees, bloggers jump in with claims that she must be jealous of Wanga\u2014a claim she finds both baseless and frankly ridiculous.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually find it funny at this point,\u201d she said, brushing off the accusations. \u201cWhy is it that any time I speak my mind, it has to be turned into jealousy?\u201d<\/p>\n

Her remarks have struck a chord, especially at a time when political conversations are increasingly happening online\u2014and not always in the most constructive way. Rather than focusing on issues, many debates quickly slide into personal attacks, assumptions, and sideshows.<\/p>\n

Odhiambo believes this isn\u2019t \u0441\u043b\u0443\u0447\u0430\u0439\u043d\u043e. In her view, turning serious discussions into personal drama is a way of avoiding the real conversation. It shifts attention away from what\u2019s being said and puts it on who is saying it\u2014and why.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s also clear is how often \u2019s name gets pulled into these situations, even when she\u2019s not directly involved. It highlights a wider pattern in Kenyan politics, where women leaders are frequently dragged into rivalries that may not even exist.<\/p>\n

Known for never shying away from speaking her mind, Odhiambo stood firm on one key point: disagreement doesn\u2019t mean hostility. For her, it\u2019s normal for people in the same party to see things differently\u2014and that shouldn\u2019t automatically be turned into a personal feud.<\/p>\n

Her comments come at a time when political temperatures are rising across the country, with both ruling and opposition sides experiencing internal debates. Social media has only amplified these moments, often turning them into full-blown online battles.<\/p>\n

In the end, Odhiambo\u2019s message is simple\u2014Kenyan politics needs more honest conversations and less noise. Because if every disagreement is turned into a personal fight, then the real issues risk getting completely lost.<\/p>\n
