Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has issued a stern warning to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, cautioning him against making remarks that could incite fear or tension by referencing the 2007/2008 post-election violence.
Speaking during a public event in Uasin Gishu, Sudi accused Gachagua of irresponsible and reckless utterances, which he said risk undermining national unity and reigniting painful memories from one of Kenya’s darkest chapters.
“Out of all the verbal diarrhoea that comes from your mouth, Gachagua, don’t ever talk about the possibility of Kenya slipping back to the chaos of 2007. That history is too painful to repeat and too costly to ignore,” Sudi stated.
The MP further accused the former Deputy President of fanning ethnic tensions and promoting divisive politics, which he termed as outdated and dangerous in modern Kenya.
“Your careless and loose talk is part of the reason you were shown the door midway through your term. Leadership is about responsibility, not threats or fear-mongering,” he added.
Sudi emphasized that Kenya has made significant progress in strengthening democratic institutions and fostering peace since the post-election violence that claimed over 1,000 lives and displaced hundreds of thousands.
He called on all leaders — regardless of their political affiliations — to exercise restraint and safeguard the nation’s peace and cohesion, especially as the country navigates through complex political and economic transitions.
“We cannot allow any politician, no matter their past title, to drag us back into tribal politics or violent rhetoric. Kenyans want progress, not provocation,” he concluded.
