Oscar Sudi said he would make a full comeback in February 2023.

Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has explained why he resorted to keeping a low-key profile since the inauguration of President William Ruto. 

The outspoken lawmaker has been reserved for a couple of months now, raising eyebrows among Kenyans who know him for the loud mouth he is. 

The politician's first-time appearance in the public after many months was on Thursday, December 22, when he accompanied President William Ruto for a cultural fete in Baringo county. 

He said he had decided to take a break until February 2023, but assured his supporters everything is in order.

Sudi divulged he had chosen to take the back seat after helping Ruto clinch the presidency.

“Some hustlers have been asking why I’ve gone silent. Others have criticized me. But such criticism made us form this government,” said Sudi.

Prior to the August 9 General Election, Sudi had been vocal and actively championed a Ruto presidency.

He had severally taken on retired president Uhuru Kenyatta whom he accused of persecuting Ruto, his then deputy.

The lawmaker secured a third term in parliament to represent the Kapseret constituents in Uasin Gishu county.

He was first elected in 2013 on the United Republican Party (URP), before defending the seat on a Jubilee Party ticket in 2017.
