Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has come out to respond to Mombasa governor Hassan Joho’s remarks that Deputy President William Ruto is not fit to lead the nation.
Joho had also claimed that his party leader Raila Odinga had tasked him to fight DP Ruto.
However, in a post on his official Facebook page, the vocal Jubilee MP accused a section of Orange Democratic Movement leaders of selectively embracing the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila.
"We have always supported the handshake and the Building Bridges Initiative...However, some section of leaders from ODM have exhibited selective embrace and have further confirmed this by launching scathing attacks towards the Deputy President. We cannot allow the Deputy President to be turned into a daily punching bag by some few crooks and dishonest leaders," reads part of Sudi's post.
Sudi also hit out at Embakasi East MP Babu Owino for coming to the defence of the Mombasa governor after they linked him to drug trafficking.
The MP who is a close ally of DP Ruto claimed his Embakasi East counterpart was also involved in drugs during his reign at the University of Nairobi where he was a student leader for a long period.
"We are also aware that Babu Owino was a close associate of Joho at the helm of rampant drug business. Babu being a student leader was a peddler in charge of illicit drug operations in University of Nairobi and its environs. I challenge anyone to inquire this from UoN and you'll be shocked," added Sudi in his Facebook post.
