Suba North Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo has refuted allegations that she is linked to the alleged dismissal of a U.S.-based Kenyan nurse, James Opande.
In a statement on Thursday, March 19, 2026, the Suba North MP expressed shock at claims that she played a key role in the dismissal of the nurse from his American job.
Odhiambo denied accusations that she set Opande up following the circulation of explicit videos allegedly involving Marion Naipei in January this year.
According to the lawmaker, she had no direct involvement in any actions taken against the nurse, suggesting that the allegations were aimed at ruining her reputation.

“So I have been told this morning I am trending. I know I have not posted anything major, so I also wonder why. Then I saw questions on my thread on a condolence message. Why did you report Opande? Then I try to figure out who the hell Opande is and where and why I am reporting him anywhere. Then I realise it’s a guy I once posted about on social media in relation to what he was said to have done to a woman,” she said.
Millie Odhiambo also mphasised that her past post regarding Opande was purely based on condemning gender-based violence and not targeted at any individual for personal harm.
According to her, she never influenced Opande’s employer to fire him insisting that if any consequences befell him as a result of online exposure, it was a matter between him and his employer.
Odhiambo further clarified that her stance on gender-based violence remains unchanged, reiterating her commitment to speaking out against any form of abuse, regardless of public criticism.
