Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has once again sparked conversation online after he reportedly gifted his shamba boy a fully built three-bedroom house, a gesture that has drawn praise and debate in equal measure.
According to posts shared on social media, the legislator surprised the longtime worker with the new home in appreciation of years of loyalty, dedication and service. Images circulating online show a modern permanent house, complete with tiled floors and a spacious compound, said to be located within Uasin Gishu County.
Sudi, who is known for his flamboyant lifestyle and frequent public gestures, is said to have described the gift as a way of giving back to someone who stood by him long before politics and fame. Supporters hailed the move as a rare show of gratitude by a Kenyan politician toward domestic staff, calling it inspirational at a time when many workers feel undervalued.
However, the gesture also reignited debate on leadership and wealth, with some Kenyans questioning the source of such generosity, while others argued that how one chooses to help others should be celebrated rather than politicized.
The shamba boy, visibly emotional in the videos shared online, reportedly thanked the MP for transforming his life, saying the house was something he never imagined owning.
Whether viewed as genuine kindness or political optics, the act has undeniably captured public attention, adding another headline-grabbing chapter to Oscar Sudi’s often controversial public persona.
