On May 16, 2020, Alego-Usonga MP Samuel Atandi called on the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti to arrest Kapseret legislator Oscar Sudi over his remarks on the death of former IEBC ICT Manager Chris Msando.

Atandi's request came after Sudi claimed that he would name those behind the killing of Msando, a move that the Alego-Usonga MP deemed as an attempt to use the murder as a political tool.

"When time comes, we will expose those who assassinated IEBC ICT Manager Chris Msando," Sudi was quoted as saying.

However, Atandi argued that the leaders who claimed to know the killers should have been arrested immediately, and that Sudi's statement was an insult to the family of the late Msando.

"The late Msando's family and children have been looking for the killers. The leaders who have claimed they know his killers should have been arrested with immediate effect," Atandi said.

Atandi emphasized that healing the nation was now the focus of every Kenyan, and that Sudi's remarks were a step backward in this process.
