The Orange Democratic Movement has found itself on the cross road with the Media. The ones vibrant political party that used to keep the government and its official is being accused of being in a deep sleep.
It is not the first time that the Media is describing ODM Party has ‘dead.’
It has been published more than once that the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and AU Representative Hon Raila Odinga killed the opposition.
But KTN has has found itself on the wrath of ODM after describing ODM as a “toothless opposition.”
On KTN Big Story run by Sophia Wanuna and Lindah Ogutu, they asked their viewers to respond if ODM has become ‘chief advocate’ for government (policies and projects).

The same sentiments has been shared by Hon Junet Mohamed who is reading malice in the profiling of ODM Party.
2013-2017: ODM opposes, exposes, sues, protests, etc, government policies/projects…
Media verdict: ODM is sabotaging government. ODM bad for economy. ODM enemy of Kenya
2017 and beyond: ODM decides to let government pursue its agenda, and support it.

The Party has been bold in many other areas supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta. They have always advocated for the fight against corruption supporting President Uhuru’s agenda led by Hon Raila Odinga.
