"I want to ask you people, you have heard them say I didn't go to school? Do you think they are lying? Have you ever heard me claiming I went to school?" Sudi posed to the crowd, who responded with laughter and applause.

In a self-deprecating but clever twist, the legislator joked that if he were to run for the presidency, he would most likely win — not because of academic qualifications but because most voters identify with him.

"But if you come to my place, I am working, my friend. I make moves and build things. Because of calculations," he said, drawing more cheers. "Let me ask you, how many of you went to school? Those who didn't go to school, lift up your hands."

A huge number of people in the audience raised their hands, confirming Sudi’s point.

"You see," he said with a grin, "if I run for president, I will defeat all my opponents because those who didn’t go to school are many. They are my people."

While critics frequently question his educational background and communication style, Sudi has, over time, embraced his image and used it to his political advantage.

Sudi went on to highlight that leadership is not just about academic certificates but about service delivery, strategy, and understanding the needs of the common mwananchi.

What honorary degree did Oscar Sudi receive?

As previously reported, Sudi proudly took to social media to share the news of his latest achievement, expressing heartfelt gratitude after being awarded an honorary doctorate in Leadership, Administration, and Management by Northwestern Christian University during a ceremony held at Eldoret National Polytechnic.

He noted that this recognition further affirms his belief that genuine leadership is rooted in selfless service and the pursuit of positive transformation within communities.

In his message, Sudi also extended his best wishes to the graduates from the institution, congratulating them for completing their academic journey and encouraging them in their future pursuits.

According to gradstarglobal.com, an honorary degree differs from a bachelor’s degree in that it is awarded without the recipient undergoing the usual academic process such as attending classes or passing examinations; rather, it recognises outstanding achievements or contributions in a particular field—meaning Sudi did not have to fulfil academic requirements to earn the accolade.
