Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has slammed ANC Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi over his recent criticism of the bottom-up economic advocated for by Deputy President William Ruto.
In a post on his social media pages on Tuesday, Sudi shared a video of himself running on a treadmill and urged Mudavadi to consider hitting the gym before engaging DP Ruto.
“Let my friend Musalia Mudavadi learn to hit the gym first before engaging Ruto,” he captioned the video.
Sudi made the remark after Mudavadi on Sunday criticized DP Ruto’s proposed bottom up economics terming it “too academic”.

Speaking during a church service in Riruta, Nairobi, Mudavadi noted that the bottom-up model proposed by the DP has not tangible solution for Kenyans, adding that it is a jargon meant to confuse the electorate.
“Let us not confuse Kenyans by talking about models. What we need is to be practical about our public debt, corruption and agree if taxation is becoming a problem. People are feeling the weight of taxation that is now becoming punitive.
“Once you have diagnosed, provide targeted corrective measures and policy decisions that can address that situation but don’t talk about models, we are not in an economic class,” Mudavadi said.
Meanwhile, Ruto and his Hustler Brigade have maintained that their bottom up model is the best approach for Kenya’s economy going forward.
Speaking on Sunday at the St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, Langata where he attended the Sunday service, DP Ruto compared the bottom-up economics to the sermon in Psalms 113:7-8.
The New International Version Bible details these two verses as saying; He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people.
"Neno la Mungu linatuambia Mungu humtoa mnyonge mavumbini," DP Ruto said as he explained his interpretation of the word.
