‘Watu wa social media ni fake’ – MP Oscar Sudi castigates online govt critics

Kapseret Member of Parliament (MP) Oscar Sudi has castigated online critics who have voiced their displeasure with the Kenya Kwanza administration.

Branding them fake, the legislator said the critics are out of touch with the reality on the ground and that the people should listen to their elected leaders and not the critics.

“Watu wengi wanaongea sana lakini hawajui kitu watu wengi wanapitia. Sisi wenye tunafanya harambee ya watu wagonjwa ndio tunajua ni nini tunasema.

“Mumetuchagua kama viongozi wenu, na ninasikia watu hapo kwenye social media wanaongea…wanafanya nini. Wacha sisi tufail, lakini fuata ile kitu tunaawambia, halafu tuanguke, halafu mtufukuze.

“Lakini msifuate ukora ya socia media kwa sababu hawa watu wa social media ni mtu fake, mtu jua kali. Ni kama vile nilikuwa naona siku ya Gen Z wengine wako uko Australia, America, wapi na mwingine anaandika anasema tuchome hii nchi kwanza ndio tuanzishe upya.

“Unajua mtu hajwahi jenga, hajawahi nunua hata simiti ni mtu haelewi ile kitu anasema,” Sudi said in a video posted on his X handle on Sunday, December 8, 2024.

SHA registration

He urged the members of the public to register with the Social Health Authority (SHA) as he believes the programme will help them overcome the challenges that come with health complications.

“So, mregister SHA, SHA inafanya na muulize wenye wameregister ndio tutoke kwa hii maneno ya harambee. Wakati Kibaki alianzisha CDF, tulitoka kwa harambee za shule, na saa hii shule zinajengwa.

“Same thing tunataka tujiondoe kwa maneno ya ugonjwa ndio kila mtu atibiwe na aende nyumbani. Unajua, hii kelele kelele ni ya watu wanajiweza,” he said.

He is the latest Kenya Kwanza leader to urge Kenyans to register with SHA after President William Ruto and his deputy, Kithure Kindiki, did.
