Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has welcomed back “Mali Safi Chito”, Millicent Jerotich, hit maker, an artiste who has recently made waves with songs criticising Members of Parliament and the Kenya Kwanza administration.

In a statement posted on his official X account on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Sudi framed the reunion as a moment of forgiveness, belonging, and political symbolism. He described himself as a father figure in a political family that has space for everyone.

“As a father, I always welcome those who have wandered back home. I invite them in and make room for them,” he said.

The MP added that his political house remains open, emphasising inclusivity over past differences. “This father’s house is big and spacious enough for all of us. Karibu nyumbani, Mali Safi Chito,” he wrote.

A symbolic return

The artist, known for releasing protest songs that questioned the leadership of MPs and President William Ruto, has built a reputation as a vocal critic of the political establishment. His return to Sudi is now being interpreted as a test of loyalty, reconciliation, and the contested space between politics and art.

For many supporters, the comeback reflects the uneasy balance between holding leaders accountable and seeking unity within communities that feel left behind.

A political undertone

Sudi, one of Kenya Kwanza’s most outspoken MPs, used the moment not only to extend an olive branch but also to highlight the importance of creating space in politics for divergent voices. His remarks suggested that political movements must remain open to those who, at times, criticise them but later seek dialogue.

By embracing the artist publicly, Sudi positioned himself as both a leader willing to accommodate dissent and a political player determined to reassert loyalty within his camp. The statement also highlights how cultural voices like Mali Safi Chito’s can shape narratives of betrayal, belonging, and political accountability.

The reunion now places the artist back in the fold of a political family he once criticised, raising questions about the durability of protest art when confronted with political reconciliation.
