Sudi to Gachagua: Leave me alone, stop undermining Ruto

Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has warned former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to stop using his name in his political rallies.

Sudi, who is a close ally of President William Ruto, is accusing his Mathira counterpart of consistently attacking without considering that he, Sudi, is a small person in the government.

Speaking at AIC Koilebel Church in his Kapseret constituency on Saturday, Sudi said all the blame against him by Gachagua is aimed at undermining the head of state.

He said the former DP had been bragging that he would make Ruto a one-term president, adding that such threats would not derail the president from his vision for the country.

“We know your negative plans against the government, but some of us are praying for you because we understand you did not attend any Sunday school teachings, so we don’t blame you at all; what you need is prayers,” Sudi told Gachagua.

He added, “Get it right: with the broad-based government we have now, we have agreed to bring together the people of this country and change them from tribal politics. For us, we don’t have any problem with Ruto being a one-term president, as you always allege, but the good thing is you don’t have numbers; you are a lone ranger.”

He claimed the former DP was a divisive character well known to Kenyans and that he has no capacity to confuse anyone, adding that even his community is tired of him.

The MP who was accompanied by area MCA David Kokwas urged Kenyans, particularly politicians, to change from divisive politics, arguing the country currently faces economic crises due to unnecessary utterances.

“I want to remind my former friend Gachagua that as young leaders, we have already agreed to abandon political selfishness and instead look for an amicable way of uniting Kenyans despite our political affiliations, so you either join or keep off from our affairs,” he warned.

MCA Kokwas also echoed Sudi by urging the former Deputy President to tone down his threats to allow his community to benefit from government development projects.

“I really sympathise with our brothers from Mt Kenya; they contributed to the achievement of this government, but instead of supporting the government, they look for its downfall. Let them understand that apart from politics, we are all Kenyans,” Kokwas said.

He thanked President Ruto for his recent visit to the mountains, saying it was a good way of paying back to the community by injecting development projects.
