Audio By VocalizeEdwin Sifuna and other political leaders address a mammoth crowd during the ODM 'Linda Mwananchi' rally at Amalemba grounds in Kakamega town on February 21, 2026. According to Sifuna, the Authority failed to block a crowd allegedly opposed to their plans from accessing the Kisumu International Airport, where they were reportedly scheduled to land before proceeding to Kakamega. “We need to hear from KAA whether Kisumu is still an International Airport and whether they can still guarantee the safety of all passengers transiting through there. How they allowed goons to barricade the airport needs to be explained,” Sifuna wrote on X. Despite the controversy, Sifuna reported that his allies were safely back in Nairobi after their rally, which was dotted with violent incidents that left one dead.
