Oscar Sudi, a Kapseret MP, is admired and detested equally in the political sphere by both his followers and detractors.
The lawmaker, who was elected in 2013 on a United Republican Party (URP) ticket and re-elected through Jubilee in 2017, is a close friend and supporter of Deputy President William Ruto, and his dedication to the latter has led to the difficulties he is currently experiencing.
Sudi, 40, was recently placed under arrest for making remarks that were deemed to be derogatory to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s family. This incident has also caused him to clash with police personnel.
In the late evening of Friday, September 11, and the early hours of Saturday, September 12, a police presence was set up all around Sudi’s Kapseret residence.
This was in a bid to arrest him over an unspecified offence, the MP having addressed a peaceful rally earlier in Eldoret.
However, the officers were met with resistance from Sudi’s supporters who guarded his palatial and vast home where his KSh 100 million huge and beautiful house sits.
Below are photos capturing the house that was officially opened by the deputy president in 2015, over two years after the legislator’s election into the National Assembly.
The house is situated in Kapseret area, off Eldoret-Kapsabet/Kisumu road.
The MP who has on many occasions acknowledged he did not study a lot said he built the house from his own resources from his multiple businesses.
The homestead also has a swimming pool and a vast lawn where he can host a meeting for a multitude.

According to the lawmaker, most of the materials used to build the house was shipped from abroad including China.
There are several gates for one to pass through before accessing the main house.
The MP’s house has modern floors, furniture and even a high-end office space.
In a photo he had shared on Twitter, the politician who vowed not to apologise to Uhuru and dared police officers to arrest him urged Kenyans to work from home.
He later turned away from the stance after an expose highlighting massive theft of COVID-19 personal protective equipment at Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA).
During the official opening of the house, the leader who said he began making ends meet by being a matatu conductor being born in a poor family, introduced his two wives Lillian and Anne.
Sudi said the house was a reward for his hard work, firmly stating that he was able to account for every coin he has made in life since he rose from being a matatu conductor along the Eldoret-Kesses route.
Kenyans online voted the MP among the most controversial politicians in the country.
