Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi and Raila Odinga’s family are close friends who enjoy special ties despite political differences.
Sudi and the Odinga family have had cordial relations dating back more than a decade and Raila repeatedly has affirmed that Sudi is “my son”.
Sudi was introduced to the Raila family by his brother-in-law, Don Bosco Gichana, a close friend and business associate of the late Fidel Odinga, Raila’s son.
In 2007, Gichana gifted Raila with a Humvee, or Hummer, a military-type vehicle that was rare in Kenya at the time.
Since then, the Raila family has embraced Sudi as one of their own and he is said to enjoy the support of Ida, Raila’s wife.
In May this year, Sudi hosted Raila for lunch at the Pumpkin restaurant in Nairobi’s Kilimani area.
“Baba (Raila) is my friend and our friendship started long ago. Fidel too was my close friend,” Sudi said in a recent interview.
“Besides politics, we are friends even at the family level. Of all the Kenyan politicians, I respect Raila, he has a stand and plans for this country,” he said.

Sudi who secured his freedom, has been a harsh critic of President Uhuru Kenyatta over his association with Raila Odinga in recent times.
He was on Friday released after securing a ksh.500,000 bond following his appeal on eleven day detention.
Sudi was arrested in a dramatic scene following his insults on Mama Ngina.
