Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has intervened to help a Form Three student who braved security to reach Deputy President Kithure Kindiki during a church fundraiser in the constituency.  

In a statement on Friday, September 4, Sudi said the student, Rency Tirop, who studies at St Theresa’s Tartar Girls in West Pokot, had been sent home due to lack of school fees. 

The UDA lawmaker said he was touched by Tirop’s courage and decided to listen to her. 

Sudi noted that the Form Three student hails from Chepkong’ony Village in Ngeria Ward, and was raised by a single mother from a humble background.

“Touched by her courage, I decided to listen to her. She is a Form 3 student at St. Theresa's Tartar Girls in West Pokot who had been sent home due to lack of school fees. Rency hails from Chepkong'ony Village in Kipsamoo, Ngeria Ward, and was raised by a single mother from a very humble background,” Sudi said.

The Kapseret MP announced that he will offer Tirop a full scholarship until she completes her studies. 

“Her determination to continue her education despite the challenges moved me. I have decided to take up her full scholarship to ensure she completes her schooling and fulfills her dreams,” Sudi added. 

This comes months after Sudi stepped in to help a 40-year-old struggling mother after she temporarily interrupted an event attended by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki. 

In a statement on June 22, Sudi said Chepchir Sigilai travelled for hours from Kapkoimur in Nandi County to Kapsang in Uasin Gishu to seek his attention. 

“My heart was moved by Chepchir Sigilai, a 40-year-old mother from Kapkoimur, Selia in Mosop Constituency, Nandi County. Desperation gave her courage she should never have needed. 

“Hearing that I would be in Kapsang, she traveled for hours and then temporarily disrupted a function attended by the Deputy President just to get my attention. She had waited 18 years for relief, and her plea could not be ignored,” read the statement in part. 

The Kapseret MP revealed that Chepchir has been battling a mysterious illness since 2008, suffering from severe stomach and navel pain, recurring swelling, and persistent headaches.

Sudi noted that the 40-year-old mother has sought treatment in various hospitals for over two decades without finding a lasting solution. 

The MP revealed that the 40-year-old mother pleaded with him to help secure a future for her 10-year-old child.

“When we met, she looked me directly in the eyes, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded for me to take her 10-year-old child if I could, to give her a school and a future she could not provide,” he stated. 

Sudi provided Chepchir with transport and committed to supporting both her medical needs and her child's education.

“I gave her transport, and I gave her my word. I will look into the child’s welfare, find her a school, and stand with Chepchir until she receives proper medical care. 

“No woman should have to scream in a crowd to be heard, and no mother should be forced to choose between her life and her child’s future,” Sudi added.
