In a sensational bombshell today, DAP‑K leader Eugene Wamalwa has issued explosive claims that MP Oscar Sudi wields disproportionate influence within President William Ruto’s administration—a revelation that threatens to shake the foundations of the ruling regime.
“Not Just a Backbencher”: Sudi Holds Real Power
Speaking during a private party meeting, Wamalwa dismissed claims that Sudi is a minor political figure. Instead, he alleged Sudi is “one of the most powerful politicians in this government,” pulling strings behind the scenes to steer cabinet selections, resource allocations, and even political appointments in Rift Valley and beyond.
“Some people think Oscar Sudi is not learned, but he is a very powerful politician in this government,” Wamalwa said, framing Sudi as hidden kingmaker inside Kenya Kwanza.
Impeachment Threats & Political Earthquake
These allegations come as tension between President Ruto and his Rift Valley allies escalates. The insinuation that Sudi—long considered a loyal backbencher—is operating as Ruto’s surrogate decision‑maker has ignited political shockwaves.
Opposition figures are now calling for a full parliamentary probe into Sudi’s activities and influence over state affairs. Questions swirl: is Kenya being governed by elected backbenchers or by an unseen cabal inside State House?
Ruto Under Pressure: Loss of Control?
Wamalwa’s bombshell further undermines President Ruto’s repeated assertions that he leads a disciplined, unified government. If Sudi indeed wields the authority Wamalwa claims, it could indicate a fracturing of power within the presidency—casting doubt on Ruto’s grip and raising alarm among his loyalists.

Opposition leaders are swiftly capitalizing. Calls for transparency, accountability, and a forensic audit of decision‑making corridors in State House and Jubilee House are growing louder by the hour.
The Key Questions Now
Investigation Focus | Allegation | Political Impact |
---|---|---|
Sudi’s Role | Operates as de facto power broker | Threatens democratic oversight |
Cabinet Picks | Alleged meddling by Sudi | Could reveal patronage networks |
Ruto’s Position | Compromised control? | Sparks internal distrust |
Parliamentary Probe | Opposition demands investigation | Could force politically damaging revelations |
What Happens Next?
- Parliamentary showdown? Opposition could push motions to summon Sudi, Ruto, and key ministers for questioning.
- Public backlash? Kenyans may demand more accountability—especially if corruption or illegal influence is unearthed.
- Political fragmentation? Rift Valley leaders could split deeper from Ruto, weakening his core based on perceived cronyism.
Wamalwa’s Final Comment
“The system isn’t built on transparency—it’s engineered around unelected power players like Sudi,” Wamalwa said, calling on President Ruto to publicly address these claims and clarify whether his government is truly “by the people, for the people.”
Bottom Line: Eugene Wamalwa’s dramatic accusations today have catapulted Oscar Sudi from supporting actor to central figure in Kenya Kwanza’s internal drama. If verified, they could spark a political quake that shakes Ruto’s presidency and reshapes Kenya’s governance.
