Sudi finally speaks on claims of being barred from Uhuru's event in Eldoret tomorrow

Kapseret MP Osca Sudi has added his voice on the ongoing discussion that he will not allowed to talk tomorrow in Eldoret, at an event to be attended by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Sudi addressed the media this afternoon in Eldoret.

The President is expected to preside over the relaunch of Eldoret-based textile factory, Rivatex, in Uasin Gishu County on Friday accompanied by the DP and other top government officials. Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi, one of fiercest critics of President Kenyatta and his peace pact with ODM leader Raila Odinga, will play host during the event.

Reports Wednesday evening indicated that President Kenyatta’s handlers were uncomfortable with Mr Sudi speaking at the event and preferred the speeches be limited to the Uasin Gishu senator, governor and Mr Ruto before President Kenyatta makes his speech.

Preparations were under way at the facility as Rivatex officials met with an advance security team from State House. The textile firm is owned by Moi University and located within Kapseret Constituency. It is being relaunched following recent efforts to rescue it from collapse after two decades of neglect.

While speaking, Sudi welcomed Uhuru to Eldoret saying he is keen on development projects that will uplift region's economy.

"I want to welcome President Uhuru Kenyatta to Eldoret.I support development agenda because it uplift livelihoods,"He said.

He dismissed claims that he has been barred from speaking during the event.

"This is not a political rally but an event to strengthen the economy.As I have said I fully support development"He added.
