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 29, 2020, Sudi surprised many by congratulating Jalang'o on losing his job at Milele FM, saying it would give him a chance to grow creatively.
‘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 has been criticized for firing numerous journalists early this week.
‘But you know that is the big man’s place,’ Jalango’o said.
‘You, he has never experienced poverty that’s why he treated you that way,’ the MP said.
On politics, Sudi said he would not defend his seat on a Jubilee ticket, arguing that the party’s reputation had been badly tainted.
