Sudi’s threat to Gachagua

On Saturday, July 5, Kapseret Member of Parliament (MP) Oscar Sudi threatened former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that his arrest was imminent.

Sudi said after the government is done with arresting and prosecuting the individuals linked to the violence and destruction of property during the recent demonstrations, Gachagua is next in line.

“Wamunyoro naona umeenda incitement yako ya kawaida, umesema ati Susan ameomba Rais ati washike nani, sijui Mbarire ameomba Rais ashike nani. Hapana, hawa ndio walipanga demonstrations, ukiwa wewe ndio financier ya hiyo mambo yote ilifanyika. So wacha hiyo unasema ati sijui wamepangiwa kisiasa, sio siasa.

“Baada ya hao, ni wewe tunashika. Huwezi ukatoa pesa ya kuharibu mali ya watu kwa sababu ya siasa. Huwezi kuwa ukiongea kila siku hate, na kuchochea wananchi, na kuchoma police station… hiyo ni nchi gani hiyo? Haitakuwa hii nchi. So jua baada ya hawa ni wewe unashikwa next,” Sudi warned.

These comments by the MP who is allied to President William Ruto are set to attract reactions from leaders who are supporting Gachagua.

Recently, Gachagua dared the government to arrest him if indeed they believed he played a part in the violence witnessed.

Kipyegon and Chebet’s Diamond League achievements

Leaders are expected to congratulate the Kenyan queens Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet for their respective achievements at the Prefontaine Diamond League.

Kipyegon closed out with a jaw-dropping 3:48.68 world record in the 1500m. This means she lowered her own world record by 36 seconds almost exactly a year to the day after setting it.

On the other hand, Chebet shattered the world record with an incredible sprint finish of 13:58.06 and became the first woman ever in under 14 minutes.

She breaks the previous mark of 14:00.21 set by Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay.
