Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi has warned Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka against trusting former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of political deceit.
Speaking during a fundraising event at Tututha Mixed Day and Boarding Secondary School in Mbooni, Makueni County, Sudi said Kalonzo's political ties with Gachagua would bring more harm than good.
“If there’s a time Kalonzo has associated himself with a real political conman, it is now. When Gachagua was Deputy President, he dismissed the Kamba community’s votes as insignificant. Today, he’s calling you his cousins—he’s only duping Kalonzo and this community,” said Sudi.
The outspoken MP said the government has been trying to reach out to Kalonzo for talks, but he has remained elusive.
“I ask you to pray for us. We’ve been reaching out to Kalonzo to work together, but he’s been distant. Pray that he listens to us this time,” he urged.
Sudi emphasized the need to shun divisive tribal politics and instead promote unity and peace across the country.
Representing Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen at the event, Sudi led efforts that raised KSh 4.56 million toward the purchase of a school bus.
He announced contributions of KSh 2 million from President William Ruto, KSh 1 million from CS Murkomen, and added KSh 1 million from his own funds.
In addition, Sudi donated KSh 200,000 to offset school fee arrears for needy students, promised 30 computers, and pledged to help the school drill a borehole to address persistent water shortages.
Tututha School Principal Patrick Wambua hailed the support, noting that the current school bus is old, small, and frequently breaks down, posing risks to students during co-curricular trips.
“Our current bus breaks down every time students travel. A new bus will be a game-changer,” said Wambua.
He also thanked the MP for clearing part of the students’ KSh 400,000 fee arrears.
School Board Chair Bishop Joshua Kimuyu welcomed the borehole pledge, stating that water rationing remains a serious challenge for the school, which currently has an enrollment of over 600 students.
