It is with a heavy heart and profound concern that I have received news of the physical attack on the Senator of Vihiga County, Hon. Godfrey Osotsi.
On behalf of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the entire leadership fraternity, I wish Senator Osotsi a full and speedy recovery.
The incident that occurred is not only unfortunate but utterly unacceptable in a civilized, democratic society.
We must be clear: Violence has no place in our political discourse. Differences in opinion, ideology, or political affiliation should never be settled through physical confrontation or intimidation.
As a party, ODM remains committed to the pillars of democracy, the rule of law, and the respectful exchange of ideas.
I wish to reiterate our unwavering stance: we do not support, condone, or tolerate violence in any form.
Such acts of aggression are an affront to the democratic gains we have fought so hard to secure for this nation.
I strongly condemn this cowardly act and call upon the relevant security agencies to conduct a swift, thorough, and impartial investigation.
The perpetrators must be held accountable to the full extent of the law to serve as a deterrent against future acts of political hooliganism.
Let us remain a nation guided by peace, tolerance, and mutual respect. We must not allow the actions of a few to jeopardize the stability of our country.
