Sifuna’s Bio
Personal Life
Edwin Sifuna was born on May 22, 1982 in Kakamega County to working class parents. His father was a civil servant with the defunct Municipal Council and his mother, a now-retired teacher from Moi Primary School in Bungoma. He has two brothers and two sisters and family is at the core of who Sifuna is.
Growing up, Sifuna grew up witnessing the hardships that plague many Kenyans currently, that of inadequate resources, inequality based on which part of the country you came from, limited job or economic opportunities, oppression for those who could not stand up for themselves… the list goes on. It struck Sifuna as unfair and lit a silent fire within him to want to do better, be better and in future, be a voice that could not be ignored.
He started his formal education at Kakamega Township Primary School and later on joined Musingu High School where he obtained his Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. Thereafter, he pursued a Bachelor of Laws Degree from the University of Nairobi, graduating in 2006. He then pursued a Post Graduate Diploma from the Kenya School of Law in 2007 and was admitted to the Roll of Advocates in 2008.
Edwin Sifuna’s values of hard work, integrity, credibility and honesty were instilled in him while growing up within a staunch Catholic background. He is a baptized Catholic Church member.
Sifuna passionately believes in creating conducive environments for women and youth to thrive especially in politics and leadership. In his current position as ODM Secretary-General, he is the champion for the “He for She” project that is being implemented by the party’s Women League. Recently, through this platform, he was able to secure funding to support female aspirants seeking elective positions in the National Assembly.
Also, having been actively involved in politics from a young age to the extent of being appointed the Secretary General of one of the largest political parties in Kenya at the age of 34 years, he understands the challenges that young people face in politics and that is why he is a supporter and a champion of youth issues.
Sifuna is a happily married man blessed with a beautiful daughter.
When he is not working in his political or legal capacity, he enjoys catching up on football and is an ardent supporter of AFC Leopards and Chelsea Football Clubs.

He was also the Legal & Administration Officer of Mini Group of Companies for about a year. Whereafter he opened his law firm and became the managing partner at E.Sifuna & Associates Advocates in Nairobi up to date.
