The Jubilee Diaspora has issued a formal condemnation of Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi over remarks he made about the families of Kenya’s First President, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, and the Fourth President, Uhuru Kenyatta. The comments, described as unacceptable and harmful to political discourse, were denounced in a statement released on November 15, 2026. The statement, signed by the chairman of the Jubilee Diaspora, called for responsible political dialogue and warned against attacks on family members of public figures.
The remarks by Sudi sparked immediate backlash from political allies and community leaders. The statement emphasized that such comments undermine the dignity of public officials and their families, and could incite division within the political community. No specific details were provided about the content of Sudi’s remarks, but the Jubilee Diaspora stressed the importance of maintaining decorum in political discussions. The incident highlights ongoing tensions within Kenya’s political landscape, where personal attacks often accompany public debates.
This is not the first time Sudi has faced criticism for his statements. In previous months, he has been involved in several controversies, including allegations of inciting unrest during local elections. The Jubilee Diaspora, a key political group in Kenya, has long advocated for unity and respect in political discourse. The current incident underscores the challenges of maintaining decorum in a political environment where personal and public spheres often intersect.
