Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi's fiery hate speech case in 2020 was one of the most high-profile matters handled by former Nakuru Principal Magistrate Isaac Orenge.

Sudi, a close ally of President William Ruto (then-DP), was accused of making inflammatory remarks against then-President Uhuru Kenyatta's mother, Mama Ngina, sparking outrage at the height of political tensions ahead of the 2022 elections.
