Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has filed a defamation lawsuit against political activist Morara Kebaso at the Chief Magistrates Court in Eldoret. The MP alleges that Morara made inflammatory and defamatory remarks about him on X (formerly Twitter) on December 22, 2024.
According to the suit, Sudi accuses Morara of falsely claiming that he was a financial beneficiary of unknown criminal activities. The MP argues that the post has caused him irreparable harm, including severe reputational damage, emotional distress, and public humiliation, particularly among his constituents and peers.
Sudi further claims that the allegations have strained his personal and professional relationships, portraying him as unworthy of public office and incapable of representing Kapseret Constituency effectively.
The court has summoned Morara to appear on January 31, 2025, to respond to the accusations.
“Should you fail to appear within the time mentioned above, the plaintiff may proceed with the suit, and judgment may be given in your absence,” the court stated.
