Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has once again stirred conversations after questioning why nations opt to borrow money instead of simply printing it.
In a statement that quickly gained traction online, the outspoken legislator wondered aloud why the government is struggling with debts when “printing more money” could seemingly solve the financial crisis.
His remarks ignited mixed reactions across social media, with many Kenyans mocking his economic reasoning while others argued that his question reflects what many ordinary citizens also wonder about. Economists, however, were quick to clarify that printing excess money without matching economic growth leads to inflation, erodes the value of currency, and ultimately worsens poverty.
This is not the first time Sudi has made controversial remarks that spark online buzz. Known for his blunt style of communication, he has often been at the center of public debates, drawing both criticism and support from different quarters.
Whether meant as a serious question or a casual comment, Sudi’s statement has once again highlighted the gap between complex economic policies and the understanding of ordinary citizens.
