Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has taken a public swipe at Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, intensifying internal tensions within the Kenya Kwanza camp just a day after a fiery Senate session involving Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen.
The lash out follows Murkomen’s Wednesday grilling over the controversial death of social media influencer Albert Ojwang. Senator Cherargei, who has consistently criticized Murkomen’s leadership, renewed calls for the CS to resign, accusing him of failing to safeguard national security.
Sudi quickly came to Murkomen’s defense. On Thursday, June 12, he posted on X (formerly Twitter), accusing Cherargei of disguising political attacks on President William Ruto as criticism of the Interior CS.
“Stop going around the corners by attacking Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen when you know very well it’s President William Ruto you are targeting. Man up and face him directly,” Sudi wrote.
The Kapseret MP didn’t stop there. He went further to suggest that Senator Cherargei’s criticism of CS Murkomen was part of a wider political game plan.
According to Sudi, the senator was laying the groundwork to defect from the Kenya Kwanza coalition and align himself with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
“We know your heart is in Wamunyoro’s camp. Be bold and cross over to serve your master freely,” Sudi added, hinting at an emerging rift within the ruling coalition.
