Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has told off critics who questioned why he boarded President William Ruto's official military chopper to Naivasha.
The president landed in Nakuru on Friday, September 16, to preside over the Kenya Kwanza Parliamentary Group Meeting.
In his company was Sudi who was seen disembarking from the chopper.
A section of Kenyans argued that the aircraft was limited to the president, adding that it would be misuse of the government privileges if people like Sudi, who are not high-ranking government officials, would tow in the president that close.
However, in his response, Sudi said he is used to boarding choppers and that the one in Naivasha would not be the first instance.

"We believe the efficiency of any government is dependent on how much we are kept on our toes. We have accepted that we are not going to appoint any member of the opposition into government because we want a vibrant opposition. We want an opposition that will keep the government in check because we have nothing to hide and we want to run an accountable government
