On Thursday, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi engaged in a live interview with popular media personality Felix Odiwuor, known as Jalang'o, touching on various issues including politics and business.
Published on June 25, 2020, the interview saw Sudi congratulate Jalang'o on losing his job, which he said had created a new opportunity for the comedian to grow.
The controversial MP expressed his belief in entrepreneurship, stating that he had succeeded where others, even those more educated than him, had failed.
"I'm glad that you got fired because now you will become more creative. When you have a salary, you start thinking hard from the tenth of the month as you count the days to the next salary. Leave that job to those who have recently graduated so that they can also get their chance. Although I hear so many of you were fired and that's just terrible," Sudi said.
Jalang'o responded by referencing President Uhuru Kenyatta, whose family owns Mediamax Limited, which had been criticized for firing numerous journalists earlier in the week.
"That is the big man's place," Jalango'o said.
"He has never experienced poverty that's why he treated you that way," the MP said.
On politics, Sudi stated that he would not defend his seat on a Jubilee ticket, citing the party's tainted reputation.
