Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has once again found himself at the center of controversy after boldly claiming that his intelligence quotient (IQ) is higher than that of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna.
The outspoken lawmaker made the statement in response to Sifuna's remarks questioning how President William Ruto, a PhD holder, associates closely with Sudi, who has been accused of having limited formal education.
Sifuna, known for his sharp political jabs, recently took a swipe at Sudi, insinuating that it was ironic for an academically accomplished president to have a close ally with questionable academic credentials.
"I have never seen a PHD hanging out with class two dropouts. How can you have a PHD and hangout with Sudi?" asked sifuna.
Unfazed by the criticism, Sudi fired back, asserting that academic papers do not determine a person's intelligence. "IQ is not measured by degrees or certificates.
"Look for someone to compare me with William Ruto. Not me. I am in another class," Oscar Sudi said.
"You don't have even a quarter of my IQ. And you are nothing... it's not about school but all about skill.." Oscar Sudi ranted.
Sifuna, while education is undeniably important, effective leadership requires more than just academic credentials.
It's a blend of intelligence and inherent qualities, something that Wamunyoro's lapdog doesn't seem to fathom. pic.twitter.com/DBgBMwDLdK - Hon Oscar Sudi (@HonOscarSudi) February 20, 2025
The MP, a close confidant of President Ruto, has often been mocked over his education background, with critics questioning how he navigates the complex world of politics without formal qualifications.
However, his defenders argue that he is a strategic and influential politician whose rise in politics speaks volumes about his capabilities.
