Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has hit back at Rigathi Gachagua after his remarks on the post-election violence of 2007-2008 during his interview with Oga Obinna TV.
According to Sudi, Gachagua’ s remarks were reckless, as he does not understand the misery the victims of the violence went through, and should focus on searching for votes and keep off talking about the incidents of the deadly post-election violence.
“Wamuyoro please don’t about 2007 2008, it seems you don’t know what your are saying. Our people went through happenings that we do not want a repeat in our country. Focus on seeking votes, but do not speak about 2007/2008, you are becoming too reckless!” Sudi said.
He further asked Gachagua to stop inciting people with his talks, as he cannot even be a village elder, as after the impeachment he is not eligible to vie for any political seat.
“You won’t even be a chairman of a cattledip! Your score ended after impeachment, that is why you were a half-term. Be cautious of how you speak, we leaders are the ones inciting the citizens. You went home one wat, just be careful,” Sudi further remarked.
During his interview with Oga Obinna TV, Gachagua urged the new nominees of Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC), by President William Ruto to act diligently to avoid plunging the country into the violence as it will be worse than 2007/2008 violence.
“The mood in the country, if that IEBC tries to mess with the elections, there will be no country here, 2007 will look like a Christmas party i can tell you, i want to urge those commissioners to be Kenyans to be patriotic, and not to attempt to force William Ruto on Kenyans, it will not work, people of Kenya will not accept it. People want change and they are ready for change, indeed they are impatient that two years is far way,” Gachagua said.
President William Ruto nominated former Turkana County Attorney General Erastus Ethekon as the Chairperson of IEBC to replace the late Wafula Chebukati and six other commissioners, whose names were forwarded to the national assembly for vetting and approval.
However, two petitioners had moved to court seeking conservatory orders to stop the National Assembly from vetting and approving them, as the process was unconstitutional. Concerns also raised by opposition Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
