Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi responded to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's allegations that some Rift Valley leaders are behind his purported dispute with President Ruto.
Sudi said leaders should avoid divisive and ethnic politics while respecting one another.
The Kapsaret MP specifically mentioned the Saturday meeting attended by Gachagua and a group of leaders sympathetic to him in Kesses, Uasin Gishu county, when the second in command chastised several leaders close to the president for what he said was fostering lousy blood between him and the head of state

The DP said that President William Ruto's friends are already gathering in the Mt. Kenya area to plan 2032 succession politics, which will be detrimental to him.
“The problem is a few leaders here from this region who have proximity to the President ndio wanakoroga siasa ya huko kwetu kudanganya watu eti waaanze kupanga mambo ya 2032,” he said.
“The few people here wamefura wamekuwa na kiburi nyingi, wanafikiria ati sasa wamefika wanaweza kuja huko eti wapange viongozi wa mlima, ata sisi hatutakuja kuwapangia siasa yenu, lazima tuheshimiane,” he added.
“Msijaribu kutupangia siasa ya mlima Kenya na uongozi wa mlima Kenya. Pangeni siasa zenu na uongozi wenu. Siku William Ruto atastaafu after 10 years, hatutaingililia vile mnataka kupanga, mtajipangia wenyewe. Siasa ya huko kwetu hamuwezani nayo, ni ngumu sana,” Gachagua noted.
The DP also ordered the leaders to focus on their constituencies, to which Sudi has already replied.
"You cannot control where I go. If we all stayed in our respective constituencies then we would not be in government. We had to fly all over the country to ask Kenyans to elect this government. I am not someone you can threaten. I have been threatened enough and this does not move me," Sudi responded.
He stated that he would continue to host Harambees to collect funds for churches, which he inherited from Ruto while he was deputy president.
