The recent outburst attributed to Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi pitting himself against the Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua cannot go unchallenged. This is because it goes against all ideals of national development, which is to begin early premature succession politics. It is also immature for leaders to align themselves along narrow political dealings with an eye on succession politics. It is, therefore, unacceptable for Sudi to dare Gachagua that he does not fear anyone demeaning, hence the presidency. Sudi and other leaders must respect Gachugua and not steer the nation on a state of perpetual campaigns.
