Broad-based government is here to stay – Sudi tells off Sifuna
Oscar Sudi has dismissed criticism of the broad-based government arrangement, asserting that the initiative is intact and will not be derailed by opposition voices.
Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has dismissed criticism of the broad-based government arrangement, asserting that the initiative is intact and will not be derailed by opposition voices.
Speaking during a funeral in Moi’s Bridge, Uasin Gishu County, Sudi responded to recent remarks by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, who questioned the legitimacy and viability of the agreement between the ruling UDA party and the opposition.
Sudi said the broad-based government is the result of political consultations between President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga, adding that individuals not directly involved in the talks should not attempt to undermine the outcome.
“Let Sifuna say whatever he wants on television, but the broad-based government will not be shaken,” Sudi stated.
“This is a political understanding between party leaders, and those who were not at the table have no mandate to discredit it.”

The Kapseret legislator urged Sifuna to focus on development and refrain from what he described as divisive rhetoric.
“If there’s money to spend, we would rather use it to build roads and infrastructure in Nairobi,” Sudi said.
He further advised the senator to respect the coalition-building process, emphasising that national unity was the primary goal of the agreement.
Also present at the event were Soy MP David Kiplagat and Taita Taveta Woman Representative Haika Mizighi, who echoed Sudi’s sentiments.
Kiplagat criticised Sifuna’s continued opposition to the broad-based arrangement, suggesting that if the ODM Secretary-General was dissatisfied, he was free to chart his own political path
“ODM is part of the government. If Sifuna is uncomfortable with that, then perhaps it’s time he considers stepping aside and starting his own movement,” Kiplagat said.
Both Kiplagat and Mizighi reiterated their support for President William Ruto, urging Kenyans to give the Head of State more time to deliver on his development promises.
“We’re firmly behind the President and will work to ensure he gets the support he needs to deliver and eventually, to secure a second term,” Kiplagat added.
