Kapsaret MP Oscar Kipchumba Sudi has been forced to open up on his meeting with Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga.
Wednesday evening, a section of Kenyan social media users speculated that the vocal Deputy President William Ruto’s ally had met the former Prime Minister in a prominent hotel to plot President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ouster.
The speculations followed Suna East Junet Mohamed’s remarks in Parliament Wednesday afternoon, when he called on President Kenyatta to resign alongside his government if he was not ready to deliver.
Controversial blogger Robert Alai led other Kenyans in speculating, arguing that Sudi had met Raila at Pumpkin restaurant in Kilimani for lunch, only for ODM legislators to demand President Kenyatta’s resignation a few hours later.
The blogger even went further with his speculations, arguing that Raila had told Sudi that he can’t trust President Kenyatta to cross a river with him.
However, Sudi was on the evening of Wednesday forced to take to his social media accounts to open up on the details of his meeting with the African Union envoy.
The lawmaker noted tat he had indeed met Raila at a popular restaurant in Nairobi. He cited that they had lunch together, and thereafter had a chat resolving around personal matters.
He noted that Raila is like a father to him, since he was a close friend of his late son Fidel Odinga. Sudi noted hat he asked Raila about the progress of Fidel’s children and family at large, adding that they don’t have to discuss politics when they meet.
“Earlier today I bumped into Former PM, Raila Odinga having lunch at a popular restaurant. We had lunch together and thereafter chit chats. Raila is like a father to me. We were close buddies with his son the late Fidel Odinga. I asked him about the progress of Fidel’s children and family at large. When I meet him it doesn’t necessarily mean that we discuss politics,” he posted.
