Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has thrown shade at fellow UDA lawmaker Mohammed Ali, better known as Jicho Pevu, after the Nyali MP’s weekend visit to Rigathi Gachagua’s home — the so-called “pilgrimage to Wamyoro.”
In a characteristically blunt statement, Sudi mocked the meeting, questioning how Gachagua could claim to mentor Ali. “I wonder how Wamunyoro, who failed to advise himself, can now purport to mentor Jicho Pevu alias Jicho Pesa,” he wrote.
Sudi accused the Nyali legislator of expecting “free money” after joining government instead of working hard or engaging in business. “He thought when we formed this government, he’d get a place to get free money, unaware that government has its procedures,” Sudi added. “Even if another government is formed, there’s no place to get money freely.”
Gachagua, meanwhile, painted a very different picture. In his own statement, the former Deputy President expressed joy over reuniting with “my great friend Hon. Mohammed Ali” after a long recovery from a knee injury. He praised Ali as “one of the young talented leaders” he was mentoring and lauded his ideas for “liberating the Coast region from politics of conmanship.”
The political contrast couldn’t have been sharper: one side preaching mentorship and unity, the other calling out opportunism.
Ali, once one of President William Ruto’s most vocal Coast allies, has remained noticeably quiet amid widening rifts in the ruling party’s ranks. For now, it seems the cameras at Wamyoro captured more than a friendly reunion — they exposed another fault line in UDA’s shaky brotherhood.
