Oscar Sudi dares Gachagua after cutting short his US trip
By Mustafa Juma, August 15, 2025Kapseret Member of Parliament (MP) Oscar Sudi has taken a swipe at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of lacking the courage to face him in a “one-on-one showdown” after the latter announced his early return from the United States.
Taking to his official X account on Thursday, August 14, 2025, Sudi claimed that Gachagua abandoned his overseas trip to “cause chaos among peace-loving Kenyans” instead of accepting his challenge for a public confrontation.
“The moment I challenged you to a one-on-one showdown, you chickened out and cut your trip short to go cause chaos among peace-loving Kenyans. Come on, Mr. Tribal Chief, step up and show some courage,” Sudi stated.
Gachagua ends US tour
Gachagua, who has been on a two-month tour in the US, on Thursday, August 14, 2025, announced that he would return to Kenya earlier than planned.
The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader noted that he was returning to Kenya to focus on the upcoming by-elections.
Gachagua also expressed his regrets to Kenyans in the diaspora, stating that he would not be able to travel to as many states as he had envisaged on his two-month trip.
“I had a very successful and fulfilling visit to the United States of America with serious engagements with Kenyans in the Diaspora,” Gachagua said.
“I regret being unable to visit the scheduled remaining States since I need to get back home to join our party DCP in preparation for the upcoming By-Elections in various parts of our country.”
Reschedules US tour
Gachagua equally revealed that he would be resuming his US diaspora engagement tour early next year, noting that his itinerary will be made public.
“I am sorry to cut my trip short; my profound apologies to the organizers and Kenyans whom I was to meet; the same has been rescheduled for early next year,” he noted.
He has also indicated that he will be taking a break to rest before making his way back to the country with his spouse, Pastor Dorcas.
“I have taken a few days to rest before heading home, and as promised, my itinerary will be made public. I thank the Kenyans in the States for the love, warmth, and hospitality they accorded to us,” Gachagua said.
