written by Mustafa Juma

Kapsaret MP Oscar Kipchumba Sudi has broken his silence over a media report that claimed that he dropped out of school at class seven.

The Standard Newspaper had on Wednesday, June 22 reported that the lawmaker quit school while in class seven and did not proceed to secondary school.

The newspaper ran the story after Derrick Juma, an investigator from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) told the court that he visited all the schools Sudi claimed to have attended and interviewed the head teachers but the MP’s name was not listed as a student in any of the said schools.

According to the investigator, Sudi’s name only appeared at Luok Ngetuny Primary School in Eldoret where the teachers confirmed that he enrolled in 1995 under the name of Kipchumba Kipng’etich, but that he exited the school at Class Seven.

While responding to the report through his official Twitter account, Sudi said that he deserves to be celebrated if he has managed to get to where he is, as a class seven drop out.

He went ahead to call out Standard Media Group for what he termed as spreading falsehoods.

“If I can manage to this far just as class seven drop out then I deserve to be celebrated. Standard should stop spreading falsehood. Wacheni fitina,” Sudi said.

Sudi is accused of forging a diploma certificate in Business Management, issued by the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) and a KCSE certificate and a school leaving certificate from Highway Secondary School.

Kibicho Fires Tough Warning To DP Ruto Allies For Insulting His Boss

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Interior PS Karanja Kibicho has warned Deputy President William Ruto allies against insulting CS Fred Matiang’i.

DP Ruto’s confidants have been hurling insults against Dr. Matiang’i.

A section of Ruto’s allies, including Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi have been abusing Matiang’i and President Uhuru Kenyatta for some days now.

Kibicho, who was addressing the media from Kirinyaga County, said their remarks were baseless, adding that the Ministry was interested in serving Kenyans rather than politicking.

He endorsed sentiments made by Matiang’i when he appeared before the National Assembly Committee on Administration and National Security, saying that the ministry will continue with the rearrangement of security.

“There is a rise in personal attacks directed at some of us, I don’t understand how the politicians will benefit from such utterances,” Kibicho said.

Tangatanga launched the attacks after the CS listed what he claimed were Ruto’s properties and the number of the security detail attached to each.

They sarcastically welcomed the ‘lifestyle audit’, threatened to expose what they called “illegal land dealings by President Uhuru Kenyatta’s family”.

Speaking while at Deputy President’s Karen Residence in Nairobi County, on Thursday, September 2, Ruto allies were livid at Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS), Fred  Matiang’i, who gave an ‘exaggerated’ lifestyle audit of Ruto.

MP Oscar Sudi In Trouble Again, Summoned After Doing This

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi is not new to controversy. On several occasions, the controversial lawmaker has found himself on the wrong side of the law.

On Friday, January 22, Sudi found himself in hot soup after he decided to abscond Court.

A Nakuru court was forced to summon the DP William Ruto allied MP after he failed to show up in a hate speech case against him.

Sudi’s hate speech and offensive conduct case hearing was set to proceed today but he failed to attend court. 

Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecution Daniel Karuri made an application for the court to order Sudi arrested. 

Karuri urged Senior Resident Magistrate Benjamin Limo to also compel the lawmaker to attend court. 

Defence counsel Felix Orege informed court that he was unwell and sought another date. 

Orege added that Sudi will avail his medical report in court during the next court appearance. 

Limo dispensed Sudi’s attendance in court on account of sickness and declined to issue an arrest warrant. 

“Instead, summons are hereby issued to the accused to attend court and avail medical documents in support of his disposition on the day he was to attend court,” ruled Limo. 

The prosecution had lined up three police officers from the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to testify.

Sudi is charged with two counts of hate speech and one count of offensive conduct.

The MP has denied that he used threatening words on social media, which were likely to stir up ethnic hatred on September 7, 2020, at an unknown place within the Republic of Kenya.

He has also denied offensive conduct charges and is out on Sh500,000 bail.

The case has been slated for February 19.

Oscar Sudi to Remain in Custody For Seven More Days

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embattled Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi will remain in police custody for seven more days.

Sudi on Wednesday September 16, 2020 appeared before Nakuru chief magistrate Josephat Kalo after spending another two days in police cells.

The lawmaker this morning appeared for a ruling on his bail that he had sought.

However, he is not yet a free man as police sought to detain him for seven more days to complete investigations.

The prosecution, led by Daniel Karuri, had sought more time to complete investigations into the crimes allegedly committed by the legislator.

Karuri objected to his release on bond, saying he was being investigated for hate speech, assault of a police officer, offensive conduct, unlawful possession of firearm and bullets and resisting arrest.

The MP was on Sunday airlifted to Nakuru minutes after he surrendered at Langas Police Station in Uasin Gishu County.

Sudi was arrested for hate speech, which is under investigation by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission.

This is after he made remarks deemed abusive towards President Uhuru Kenyatta and his family.

His arrest came after a drama involving the police and his constituents who tried to bar the officers from gaining access to his home to arrest him.

He was aided by police to escape as a team of officers arrived at his home.

During the siege, one of the MP’s supporter was shot and injured while a police officer was attacked by a machete.

Update: Oscar Sudi Airlifted to Nairobi After Surrendering

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi is currently being airlifted to Nairobi after surrendering to Police.

The controversial lawmaker on Sunday morning presented himself at Langas police station, a day after a contingent of police unsuccessfully looked for him at his rural home in Kapsaret, Eldoret.

He was in the company of his lawyers Governor Stephen Sang, Gladys Shollei, Jane Masai, Nathan Tororei and Hon Isaac Terer.

The lawmaker through his official Facebook page notified his fans that he had decided to present himself to to police, as a law abiding citizen.

He however, maintained that he was not at home at the time police arrived at his residence on Friday night to arrest him.

Sudi condemned the move by police, saying that it was unnecessary for him to be arrested dramatically with a contingent of police.

Shortly after surrendering, the controversial lawmaker revealed that he was being airlifted to Nairobi, and that he would be landing at Wilson Airport in the next few minutes.

“I’m being airlifted to Nairobi. Will be landing at Wilson Airport shortly,” he posted on Facebook.

A contingent of police officers camped at the lawmaker’s home from Friday night with intentions of arresting him, but the controversial MP was nowhere to be seen.

After four hours, police finally managed to break into the home of the Kapseret MP on Saturday morning but failed to arrest him.

The heavily armed police eventually broke into the residence in the wee hours of Saturday morning, but could not find the MP.

On Friday night, irate residents blocked the road leading to Sudi’s home with logs, stones and tractors to stop police from accessing the controversial lawmaker’s compound.

A contingent of police officers including the dreaded GSU who raided Sudi’s house had to wait at the gate for several hours before shattering the gate’s lock at 3am to gain access into the residence.

Sudi, however, managed to escape the dragnet leaving behind hundreds of police officers who ransacked the house for hours.

Though senior police officers involved in the operation have not revealed the exact reason he was being sought, it is believed his anti-First Family utterances last week put him in police radar.

Buzeki Runs to Raila a Day After Publicly Clashing With Governor Mandago, Oscar Sudi

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Business mogul and politician Bundotich Kiprop alias Buzeki on Monday September 7, 2020 visited ODM party leader Raila Odinga at his Capitol Hill office.

Buzeki who was in the company of Cherengany MP Joshua Kutuny held a meeting with Raila, whose details have remained scanty.

The former prime minister took to his official social media accounts to say that he had held the meeting with the duo, but did not reveal the details of their meeting.

This comes just a day after Buzeki clashed with Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandago and Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi.

Buzeki on Saturday engaged in a public spat with MP Oscar Sudi and governor Mandago over 2022 succession politics.

The three met during a fundraiser in Kapseret constituency, Eldoret, where Buzeki insisted he would vie again for the governor’s seat in 2022 and do a better job in ensuring Uasin Gishu becomes a model county. Buzeki lost to Mandago in 2017.

“Mandago, you have done your part and when I take over I will host a grand send-off party for you as you retire. I will then deliver on ensuring unity in Uasin Gishu,” the businessman said.

Buzeki, who was cheered by residents, also criticised some local politicians for repeatedly using DP William Ruto’s name instead of outlining their own performance record.

“Some of you keep on telling us about Ruto everywhere as if people don’t know him. Tell us about your own agenda because everyone here knows Ruto and supports him,” he said.

When MP Sudi rose to speak he told off Buzeki, accusing him of engaging in divisive politics in Uasin Gishu.

“You should seek support without causing divisions among residents of Uasin Gishu,” Sudi said.

He told Buzeki that residents would not vote for him to succeed Mandago in 2022.

Sudi claimed that Buzeki had sold his dairy company and was not the right person to talk about improving the economy of the region.

“These people are not telling you the truth because they will not vote for you come 2022,” Sudi told Buzeki.

Mandago, who spoke last, asked Buzeki to go slow on his political ambitions. The governor said politics would keep on changing, especially if the BBI leads to constitutional changes.

“If BBI will go through, then we will likely have a new Constitution and I will be back seeking to be elected again. I will be back for another fresh term, and I am sure I will win. Buzeki, please go slow because I am not going anywhere,” Mandago said.

He told Buzeki to stop relying on brokers believing they would help him win the governor’s seat.

“Those brokers you go round with are just interested in your money and will not help you with anything. Deal with residents of this region and go slow,” Mandago said.

Ruto Allies Raid Raila’s Nyanza Backyard as They Assemble Grassroots Troops

written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy President William Ruto his battling for Luo-Nyanza votes as 2022 nears.

Over the weekend, DP Ruto’s allies raided Opposition chief Raila Odinga’s Nyanza backyard by hosting youths from the region.

Through his close ally Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, Ruto has been assembling grassroots troops from Nyanza that will campaign for him in the 2022 elections.

In a meeting attended by Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa and his Bahati counterpart Kimani Ngunjiri, Sudi at the weekend hosted youths from Kisumu, Siaya, Migori and Homa Bay at his rural home in Kapsaret.

Those who attended the rally included youth leaders, women groups and clerics  who previously supported Raila’s presidential campaigns.

The youth were mainly from Kisumu’s Kondele estate, which is a political hotbed in the lakeside city and those from Raila’s Bondo rural home.

Others were from Ahero, Nyakach, Muhoroni and Kendu Bay.

According to a report by a local daily, the youths have formed a movement dubbed “ Nyanza Youth Movement for Ruto 2022” to campaign for Ruto.

On Sunday August 2, 2020, the Kapseret MP told the local daily  that they were determined to raid Raila’s political turf. 

“We are determined to penetrate Luo Nyanza so that we can unlock its residents from the chains of poverty. Our intention is to sell the DP as the best alternative,” he was quoted saying.

Sudi said Kenyans should live together in harmony despite holding divergent political views, citing his relationship with Raila.

“Raila is my friend, even though we have different political views. Just the other day we had lunch as friends,” he said. 

The Kapseret MP also asked leaders not to incite Kenyans against each other.

“There is no day citizens engage in violence on their own, they are usually incited by leaders,” he said. 

On his part, Barasa called on Nyanza residents to shun tribal politics and vote for leaders with a clear development agenda. 

“You do not eat the title of your tribesmen in Government. Your life will not change because your tribesman is in power, your life will only change if the people you elect have a plan to transform lives,” said Barasa.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi on Friday July 17, 2020 poked fun at a report that revealed he hadn’t spoken in Parliament since 2017. 

Speaking at a funeral ceremony at Kabenes in Soy Constituency, the vocal Tanga Tanga MP faulted the media for making him the biggest topic yet some lawmakers with interests in 2022 presidential race were in the report as well.

Sudi noted that Baringo senator Gideon Moi has not as well said anything in the senate yet he is in the race to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta come 2022.

Sudi went ahead to claim that he can as well content for the 2022’s topmost political seat just like the KANU party leader.

“I have never spoken in Parliament and neither has Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and yet he is the one who they want to make president in 2022, I think even I qualify to run for that seat,” he stated.

According to a Parliamentary Scorecard released by Mzalendo Trust, a Parliamentary Monitoring Organization (PMO), Sudi and his Nakuru Town West counterpart Samuel Arama have made zero contributions in the National Assembly since 2017.

Sudi furthermore declared that he was not interested in being a part of any parliamentary committee under the Jubilee administration.

“I have seen I have been nominated to a committee. I ask that you remove me because I have no desire to serve in any capacity under the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“We are not beggars, we are the ones who formed the government but it is being driven by corrupt and selfish individuals,” Sudi affirmed.

Ruto Man Opens up on His Meeting With Raila Amid Betrayal Claims

by Brian Miano
written by Brian Miano

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.

Don’t Bring Here Your BBI Reggae, Uasin Gishu Leaders Warn Raila

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy President William Ruto allied MPs are plotting to stop ODM leader Raila Odinga’s BBI reggae in Uasin Gishu County.

The Tanga Tanga lawmakers on Monday warned the former premier against holding BBI consultative forums in the county.

Led by Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi  and his Soy counterpart Caleb Kositany, the Tanga Tanga MPs claimed that they would not allow outsiders to go and spread hate in the county.

“We will not remain silent and allow hate-mongering that has been witnessed in Kitui, Kisii and Mombasa to be transferred to Eldoret. Any meeting must be organised by the leadership of the area, not outsiders,” Sudi told journalists on Monday.

On his part,  Kositany said the region’s leadership will organize its own rallies with the help of the BBI task force which is headed by Garissa Senator Yusuf Haji.

The two have accused Raila of using the BBI to spread hate among Kenyan communities.

They also claim that the forums have been used to demonize Ruto and portray him as a man who is not supporting the handshake between Raila and President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“If those are the kind of statements made at the rallies, then we can as well say goodbye to such forums in our county because we do not want to polarise the country any further,” Kositany said.

Their claims come just two days after the Narok BBI rally that was held at Ole Ntimama Stadium with its discussions being accused of siding along tribal lines.

No BBI rally had been slated for Eldoret town.

Rift Valley leaders led by Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos and Cherangany MP Joshua Kutuny are planning for a rally to be held at Nakuru’s Afuraha Stadium.

The BBI train will pitch camp at Kinoru Stadium in Meru this weekend.  Ruto had indicated that he may attend the function.

But this is now uncertain after he warned Raila and his bandwagon that he may try to stop reggae if they continue inciting Kenyans.

Oscar Sudi: Murathe is a Renown Conman Conning The Chinese in Nairobi

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kapsaret Member of parliament Oscar Sudi has launched a scathing attack on former Jubilee party interim Vice Chairman David Murathe.

Speaking in Eldoret on Saturday, Sudi claimed that Murathe is a renown conman who has been conning the Chinese nationals in Nairobi.

The seemingly furious Sudi was responding to Murathe’s claims that Deputy President Dr William Ruto did not help President Uhuru Kenyatta clinch to power, arguing that the elections were rigged.

In a video shared on his facebook account, Sudi termed Murathe as a foolish politician who failed to win a parliamentary seat.

He challenged Murathe on why he failed to rig the votes to win a parliamentary seat the same way he claimed Uhuru rigged to get to power.

Murathe, the former Gatanga MP, is known as one of the smoothest of political go-betweens for Chinese contractors and the government.

‘Brokerage fees’ and ‘facilitation fees’ for some of the deals, for which Murathe is a high priest, are eye-watering. This is the reason Sudi is perhaps terming him as a renown conman.

Murathe had dismissed the claim that Uhuru is set to retire in 2022.

He argues that the head of state can come back as the Prime Minister of this nation after he completes his tenure in office

“Kwani Uhuru anaenda wapi? (Where is Uhuru going?), Uhuru is going nowhere. He is going to be here even if he stops being president,”

Revealed: Oscar Sudi Knelt Down to Propose to Kitany on Behalf of Linturi

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

The case involving Meru senator Mithika Linturi and his estranged wife Merriane Kitany has taken a new twist after Kitany’s mother’s latest confession.

In her confession, Kitany’s mother has dragged in Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi whom she alleges knelt down before her daughter to propose on behalf of Linturi.

She says Sudi got down on one knee and asked for her daughter’s hand in marriage on behalf of Linturi during a church fundraiser.

“Oscar Sudi even knelt down at the same function and asked for Kitany’s hand in marriage on behalf of Linturi. It was the biggest function. Almost six choppers came for the fundraiser,” she was quoted by a local daily.

on Tuesday narrated how she invited Linturi for a church fundraiser in which he contributed Sh1 million out of the Sh4.2 million raised.

“I thank my son-in-law for coming for a fundraiser before the ceremony in my church,” she said.

Among those present at the fundraiser were Sudi, Elgeyo Marakwet Senaotr Kipchumba Murkomen, Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, Deputy Preident William Ruto’s aide, Farouk Kibet, Energy CS Charles Keter and Nandi Governor Stephen Sang.

Rhoda said Kitany informed her in 2014 that she, Linturi and their children were going to Australia to get to know each other.

In 2016, Kitany told her mother that she and Linturi wanted to visit her home for an introduction and she prepared for the function.

Rhoda said she invited all her friends and family for the occasion.

She said before the wedding, the fundraiser was the first time Linturi went to visit.

During the introduction, Rhoda said Linturi visited accompanied by 19 people and had a pick-up full of food.

Throughout the cross-examination, Rhoda referred to Linturi as ‘mheshimiwa’, saying her culture does not allow her to say the name of her son-in-law.

She said at the traditional wedding, Linturi was asked if he loved her daughter and he told them he did.

Rhoda said Linturi was asked if he was married and he said he was divorced.
