MP Oscar Sudi renews attacks on DP Rigathi Gachagua over his style of politics.
Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has lashed out again at Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over his style of politics.
Sudi while speaking at the burial of former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioner Irene Masit’s father faulted Gachagua for stubbornly sticking what he perceives to be regional politics instead of advancing national unity in his capacity as second in command.
“When leaders get to a certain level, they should speak for Kenyans not just their people,” he stated.
“You get some leaders saying ‘our people,’ ‘my people,’ which should not be the case, leaders should talk about matters affecting Kenya.”
The Kapseret legislator noted that once elected, leaders ought to always advance national politics that fosters unity.
“People of Central Kenya for example, their place is just for production, there are only born there but if you go around the whole of Kenya, you will find them everywhere,” he explained adding that it would be fitting for people from Central Kenya to champion the affairs of Kenya.
In his criticisms, Sudi challenged leaders hellbent on regional politics to sell their vision in friendly way and avoid divisiveness.
“Let us unite and work together. Seek votes with a manifesto and in friendly way. This kind of politics is backward no wonder Tanzania is ahead of us because they left tribalism behind long time ago,” he further added.

In his speech, Sudi also acknowledged the contribution Raila has made for the progress of the country. “Raila has contributed to the progress of this country, be it the promulgation of the new constitution,” he said adding that Kenyans ought to be thankful.
These attacks aimed at Gachagua, come as President William Ruto ordered members affiliated to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to shelve a planned impeachment against his deputy.
Some months earlier, Sudi criticized Gachagua who had suggested that some leaders fear a united Mt Kenya region.
While on a tour of the Rift Valley region, Gachagua questioned the rationale behind leaders throwing jabs at him for fiercely advocating for Mt. Kenya interests.
“I had seen an argument somewhere that for the call of unity of our region [Mt. Kenya], we can be isolated. Why would anybody isolate us for being united?” Gachagua posed the question to his audience adding that unity is not a bad thing.
