Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi exercised gratitude by splashing close to Ksh. 300,000 on cellmates and remandees apprehended in the Nakuru Police Station.

Reports convince us to believe that the outspoken lawmaker spent north of Ksh 265,000 paying for the remandees bails and fines after they were unable to raise money to cater for the charges. 

As if not enough, Sudi plated smiles on the faces of cellmates after he bought them mattresses and jackets.

Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa was easy with Sudi's kind act to both the cellmates and remandees.

"The people he met there became his family, some of them were being detained because they failed to pay very small fines which is sad. 

He bought for them 30 mattresses and jackets to beat the cold, he spent over Ksh. 265,000 for eight remandees in paying bail for them, it sounds like little money but it really made a big difference," Barasa proclaimed.

Some of the mattresses were kept in stores since the cells were too small to hold all of them at once.

Court papers indicated that the prosecution filed an application to detain him for 14 days after being accused of hate speech and incitement.
