Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has dismissed the notion that the wealth and money he has accrued has transformed his looks after an old photo of him showed the image of someone who has come a long way.
On Thursday March 17 the MP posted a photo of himself Taken in 2013 and many believed he appeared poor and struggling in life compared to the Sudi they know now.
But a long Facebook post on Friday, March 18, the vocal Ruto-allied legislator said the photographer caught him unawares and that he was tired following a series of political rallies, and as such its not because he was poorer then.
Instead, the outspoken Oscar Sudi said he had more money in 2013 compared to now when ‘the economy of the county has eaten into his wealth.’
“I have seen Kenyans commenting on my throwback image taken back in 2013. Some think that money has transformed my looks but that’s not true. In 2013 I had more money than now since President Mwai Kibaki had grown our economy so well not like at the moment where the economy is on its knees,
“Sura sio pesa na pia nilikua nimechoka sana juu ya (Money has nothing to do with someone’s facial appearance, I was so tired) due to campaigns. You can compare the image on my campaign posters in 2013 with this one,” Sudi said.
This comes even as the two-term legislator recently explained how he sprang from grass to grace before being elected as MP on a United Republican Party (URP) ticket in the 2013 General Election.
In his latest interview on the Trend, Sudi who is associated with controversy, courage, money, and power, all tied with a ribbon around claimed he worked for KSh 800 pay per month in 1996 with a matatu christened Carlos owned by Barnabas Sawe.
“In my mabati house where I lived, I had dug a hole. So I used to put there KSh 50 every day. After one year, I had saved up to KSh 21,000 including my salary,” Sudi said.
