Oscar Sudi Wants Answers From Uhuru and Mama Ngina Over Jomo Kenyatta’s Other Families

Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has sparked fresh controversy after questioning why the families of Kenya’s founding President Jomo Kenyatta’s other wives are rarely mentioned publicly compared to Mama Ngina Kenyatta’s family.

Speaking at a public event in Narok, Sudi questioned what happened to the families of Jomo Kenyatta’s earlier wives, pointing out that Mama Ngina was the youngest among the former President’s wives.

The legislator challenged former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his mother to explain why their family remains the most publicly recognised among the families associated with the country’s first President

“I want to ask Kenyans one question, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta had four or five wives. Uhuru’s mother is the youngest wife. I want so that Kenyans can know that Uhuru’s family are very bad, where did the first wife and her children go? Where did the second family and their children go? Where did the family of the third wife go?” Sudi posed.

He further questioned why Mama Ngina’s family was commonly associated with the Kenyatta name despite Jomo Kenyatta having other wives and children.

“Mbona bibi mdogo ndio anajulikana kama bibi ya kwa Kenyatta. Inamaanisha wewe (Uhuru) na mama yako na hiyo nyumba yenu nyinyi ni watu wabaya sana,” Sudi stated.

The Kapseret MP appeared to suggest that the limited public visibility of the other families raised questions about how the Kenyatta family legacy had been represented over the years.

However, Sudi did not provide evidence to support his insinuations about Mama Ngina’s family or establish what happened to the other families.

His remarks also came amid his criticism of Uhuru over his political fallout with President William Ruto.

Sudi accused the former Head of State of turning against Ruto despite having supported his political ambitions since 2002.

The latest comments have brought renewed attention to the history of Jomo Kenyatta’s family while adding another chapter to the ongoing political exchanges involving Uhuru, Ruto and their allies.
