Friday, May 12, 2023 – Kapseret Member of Parliament, Oscar Sudi, has blasted Nandi Community elders for saying no ceremony will take place in Nandi Hills to commemorate Koitalel Arap Samoei’s anniversary without his head which they said was taken away by the colonialists.
The elders, led by Mr. Christopher Koyogi, faulted the government for turning a deaf ear on their plea, claiming that they took part in ensuring President William Ruto won the presidency.
“It is now over 120 years since Koitalel’s head was taken away and when we seek the truth, we are rebuked. We are asking where his head was taken to, we are seeking for our justice. We will not allow any celebrations in Nandi Hills to commemorate Koitalel without his head.
“Even for Ruto to win that seat, we went to the Samitui area and spoke to a rock which eventually agreed to burst. Out of the rock, I brought home three instruments of power that aided Ruto. Leaders should listen to us,”
However, in a rejoinder, Sudi criticised the elders, saying Kenyans will no longer fall for con elders.
Sudi went further and reminded Mr. Koyogi that he was part of the elders who supported Azimio One Kenya Alliance and should not take any credit for Ruto’s win.
“I have seen some other elders in Nandi claiming they prayed for a rock to burst and whatever, they said if it were not for them Ruto would not be the president.
“I have looked keenly and I guess these elders were in Azimio, are they, not the ones who supported Raila and his team? I just want to thank our people for standing with us, If it were not for you and God we would not have won,” Sudi stated.
