Sunday, June 21, 2026 - Controversial Kapseret MP, Oscar Sudi, has stirred a storm after making sensational claims about the paternity of many children in the Kikuyu community.
Speaking during a politically charged event, the outspoken
legislator and close ally of President William Ruto alleged that the Kikuyu
community's perceived numerical strength is largely attributed to children
fathered by men from other communities, including the Kalenjin, Luhya, and Luo.
“Nyinyi watu wa mlima mnajifanya wajuaji. Wacha niwaambie
msikie, watoto wengi mko nao ni wa Wakale, Waluhya na Wajaluo,” Sudi
claimed.
He went on to argue that while many of these children are
given Kikuyu names and raised within Kikuyu households, their biological
fathers come from other ethnic groups.
According to Sudi, this is one of the reasons the Kikuyu
community is often perceived as having a larger population, a factor that has
historically played a significant role in Kenya's electoral politics under the
popular “tyranny of numbers” narrative.
The remarks have since generated widespread reactions
online, with some netizens supporting his views while others dismissed the
comments as divisive, and intended to stir ethnic tensions.
