Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has stirred online buzz after publicly demanding KSh 1 million from businessman Sam Mburu following a high-stakes football bet.
The wager, placed ahead of the English Premier League clash between Manchester City and Arsenal, came to light after City secured a 2-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium.
Moments after the final whistle, Sudi took to social media, tagging Mburu and demanding immediate payment. He claimed Mburu had gone silent, despite their agreement before kickoff.
Sharing a photo of the two together, Sudi wrote that Mburu, whom he referred to as Nakuru’s “first gentleman,” was avoiding his calls after losing the bet.
The MP made it clear he had backed Manchester City, while Mburu had placed his faith—and money—on Arsenal, who fell short in the tightly contested match.
Mburu, however, did not stay quiet for long. He responded in the comment section with a cryptic message suggesting the bet terms required a “cash-only” settlement, hinting at possible conditions not previously disclosed.
Sudi dismissed the response and escalated the banter. In a follow-up post, he shared a humorous clip featuring Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola, using it to mock Arsenal’s defeat.
“Dawa ya deni ni kulipa,” Sudi posted, insisting that Mburu should honor the bet without excuses. His tone remained playful but firm, amplifying the public spectacle.
The exchange has since attracted widespread attention online, with Kenyans divided between seeing it as harmless banter and questioning the wisdom of public figures engaging in high-value wagers so openly.
Beyond the social media drama, Manchester City’s win has significant implications for the Premier League title race, tightening the competition and keeping fans on edge as the season approaches its conclusion.
