Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has dismissed former DP Rigathi Gachagua’s claims that he donated Ksh2 million to the PCEA Church in Kasarani to silence it from speaking against the government.
Speaking during the Eldoret Pioneer DCC Women’s Conference, Sudi accused Gachagua of concentrating on petty issues instead of commenting on serious matters affecting Kenyans.
Sudi noted that it was laughable how the former DP could call him out on minor issues, adding that Gachagua’s impeachment was a result of such disrespectful comments.

“You know, this is why Gachagua is home. He was unable to lead Kenyans. I saw him stand and claim that I was sent with Ksh2 million to the PCEA church to quell them.I want to tell Gachagua that for your information, the work that I have done in church within Kapseret, you cannot do, if Mrs Dorcas leaves you, you are a big crook,” the Kapseret MP said.
The MP moreover recalled how he helped Gachagua acquire his previous position, adding that despite the help, Gachagua lost his seat due to disrespect.
Sudi went on to promise to continue with his church donations despite criticism, further reiterating that it was better to give than to receive.
“I want to tell all those who are feeling bad and are in pain that we give to churches to forgive us, because we have no other way of giving what we have to the church. We must give our offerings to the church,” Sudi stated.
Sudi’s comes days after Gachagua took a swipe at President Ruto’s administration, claiming the current regime was out to silence the church.
Gachagua alleged that Ruto’s administration recently dispatched a team to stop churches from speaking the truth against the current regime.
“These people are rude; they are sending people to desecrate the altar, inside the church, so that the PCEA Church can be silenced, and they sent Sudi with Ksh2 million to silence the church. Let us respect the church and let us honour the altar,” Gachagua claimed.
