Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has threatened to sue activist Morara Kebaso over alleged defamatory remarks.
In a demand letter shared by his lawyers, Limo and Njoroge Advocates, the MP accused Kebaso of sharing a photo showing Sudi engaged in conversation with Kasmuel McOure to his 280,000 followers on X account with a caption he considered defamatory.
“We act for Hon Oscar Kipchumba Sudi, the sitting Member of Parliament for Kapseret Constituency, whose stellar reputation, earned through years of public service and business acumen, you have maliciously and recklessly defamed through your publication on the X platform (formerly Twitter) dated 22 December 2024 at 11.21 AM,” the law firm stated.
The lawyers also indicated that Morara violated the law by defaming Sudi through direct reference and innuendo.
The controversy arose from Kebaso’s post on December 22, where he shared images of Sudi alongside artist Kasmuel McOure.
According to Sudi through his lawyers, the accompanying text suggested that Sudi was involved in the tragic killing of Gen Z protesters for personal gain during the anti-finance bill demonstrations, sparking significant public reaction due to Kebaso’s large following on X.
The law firm went on to issue three demands on behalf of their client to Kebaso, amongst them a written, unconditional, and unreserved apology.
Other demands were an immediate admission of liability and an express undertaking to not publish any defamatory photograph or statements that can be inferred by innuendo referring to Sudi again.
“We are going to file a lawsuit in the coming week from Monday, December 30, 2025, to Wednesday January 1, 2025, thereabout, after Kebaso indicated that he would not heed our demands.”
