Oburu Odinga wants ODM Cabinet members to bring more development to Luo Nyanza. He spoke at MP Ong'ondo Were's funeral about the need for fair resource sharing. The senator asked Treasury head John Mbadi to make sure Raila Odinga's supporters see real benefits from their loyalty. Four other ODM leaders serve in the Cabinet - Opiyo Wandayi, Beatrice Askul, Hassan Joho, and Wyckliffe Oparanya.

Oburu claimed his region pays for projects built elsewhere but receives little help itself. He called for special attention to areas that have backed his brother Raila through many campaigns. The people demonstrated because they need better services, he said. Their support becomes meaningless if nothing changes in their communities. Oburu asked Mbadi to favor Luo Nyanza when distributing national resources.

The senator believes the region deserves compensation for past neglect. He urged Cabinet ministers from ODM to work hard for their home areas. Oburu wants them to make sure Raila's strongholds benefit from government programs. He described this approach as necessary to correct previous unfairness. The area should finally see rewards for its political loyalty, he argued.
