Kapseret Member of Parliament, Oscar Sudi, recently surprised a public gathering by taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The lawmaker, known for his outspoken nature, shared a rare personal story about his childhood.

During the event, he called a woman to the podium, introducing her as his primary school girlfriend.

The crowd watched as Sudi narrated their history with a mix of humour and sincerity. He described a bond that started many years ago when they were both still in school.

A Childhood Bond

Sudi told the audience that the woman was a very close friend during their younger years. He spoke about the simplicity of childhood affection.

"This one was my very close friend, if people were allowed to marry as children, i’d have married her. There is just that one person you love, even when you are both still very young," Sudi remarked to the cheering crowd.

He recalled a specific trip they took to Kisumu. They visited the Chemelil sugar factory together.

Sudi noted that they even took a photograph during that trip, which remains a memento of their early connection.

At the time, he admitted, she was slightly taller and ahead of him in life.

"We took a picture there, she was slightly taller than me then, but she was mine,” Sudi added.

A Pledge of Support

The MP’s story was not just about the past. He used the platform to announce his commitment to her future. Sudi revealed that he was willing to continue supporting her by paying school fees for her daughter.

“And because you evaded me, I’d like to support your girl; that responsibility leave it for me.”

He promised the crowd that his support would not end there. Sudi pledged to continue "holding her hand" to ensure she achieves her goals. He stated his intention to help her find a clear career path and provide the necessary resources for her to succeed.

"I will hold her hand. I will ensure she gets an education, and I will find a path for her until she succeeds."

From Humble Beginnings

This public display of gratitude is consistent with Sudi’s public persona. The Kapseret MP often speaks about his own "rags-to-riches" journey. Before entering politics, Sudi worked as a matatu (public service vehicle) conductor and a charcoal seller.

His rise to become a three-term Member of Parliament is a well-known story in Kenyan politics.
