"Going forward, I'll not participate in any Harambee because it has been used to malign and disparage the good course, let it be banned. Thus the current happenings in the country call for introspection and consequently, I'm taking a sabbatical leave from public engagements," he said.
Sudi said only minutes after President William Ruto attended a roundtable with Kenyan journalists, he stated that the 'harambee culture' among politicians should be eliminated.
"On matters of politics on the pulpit I am one hundred per cent aligned. We shouldn't be using pulpits in churches to prosecute politics," said Ruto during the Sunday evening interview in State House.
"We need to change the culture of harambee. It started as a noble exercise it supported many people to go to school but I think it has stretched too far. We must stop harambees because it is breeding corruption."
