Before being summoned, Oscar Sudi had issued a statement on his facebook platform condemning the rowdy youths who pelted Raila’s helicopter with stones, “We condemn any kind of violence against politicians either in Kabenes,Kenol,Kondele or anywhere within our republic. The police should take full responsibility for what happened in Kabenes. Someone of stature like the Former Prime Minister shouldn’t attend any function without heavy presence of the police. There were only two police officers surrounding the chopper. These days some youth go overboard, we even witnessed one hanging on a chopper in Bungoma and another one in Trans Nzoia. We shouldn’t tolerate such barbaric and retrogressive kind of politics this century.”
