Thursday, February 20, 2025 - Kapsaret MP, Oscar Sudi, has fired back at ODM Secretary-General and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, who dismissed him as a "Class Two dropout."
The heated exchange began when Sifuna, speaking on Citizen
TV, launched a scathing critique of President William Ruto’s leadership,
questioning his ability to drive meaningful change in Kenya.
Sifuna took issue with Ruto’s recent assertion that, as a
PhD holder, he cannot be lectured on governance by those without similar
academic qualifications.
The Senator extended his attack to Sudi, a close confidant
of the President, suggesting that Ruto’s reliance on individuals like him
diminishes any intellectual credibility his PhD might provide.
“I will never be persuaded that Ruto is good for this
country. His time is up, and even he knows it. That is why he and his allies
constantly insult the public.”
“He boasts about his PhD, yet surrounds himself with people
like Sudi.”
“Birds of a feather flock together,” Sifuna remarked.
Sudi, however, swiftly responded, dismissing Sifuna’s
argument that intelligence is not solely defined by academic credentials.
He contended that leadership requires practical skills,
political awareness, and an ability to connect with the electorate.
“Let me ask a question: Are our voters university graduates?
Can he compare himself with me?”
“Our IQs are not the same - his is not even a quarter of
mine.”
“Leadership is about communication, awareness, and
delivering results, not just degrees,” Sudi countered.
