On November 12, 2019, Hon Oscar Kipchumba Sudi, the member of parliament for the Kapseret constituency, reflected on his experience in Kibra during the election period.
According to Sudi, he managed to navigate through the chaos sponsored by Raila Odinga largely because of his intelligence.
He expressed his confidence in his inborn shrewdness, which he claimed helped him overcome the 'draconian and imbecilic disposition of behaviour' exhibited by the Kibra residents.
Sudi explained that he was 'way wiser and intelligent' than the ODM's 'pathetic sycophants,' a factor that greatly enhanced his safety in the 'war-tone zone.'
He recounted that he had cleverly avoided the furious residents who seemed more than prepared to pounce on him.
He dismissed claims that the Kibra Luos are an organized lot, describing them as 'silly and ill bred people who require civic education and enlightening to emancipate themselves from the shackles of folly and ignorance.'
He added that the goons who had attacked his vehicle had no option but to retreat after he feigned drunkenness and spoke Canadian English, confusing the angry youths.
"My good English helped me confuse them a great deal," Sudi recounted.
