Kasmuel has taken a strong stance against Edwin Sifuna, who stormed out of the Senate hearing on Governor Sakaja.
Kasmuel said Sifuna's decision was completely inappropriate and showed no regard for the Senate or Kenyans. He stated that every leader must face difficult questions.
Avoiding questions is a bad idea for everyone. Kasmuel told reporters that Sifuna's walkout caused people to question him. "When a leader avoids questioning, it teaches young people harmful lessons. Accountability is quite crucial.
"No one is above questioning," he remarked. Governor Sakaja was grilled on money and projects in Nairobi.
Senators wanted to know how the money was spent and how decisions were made. Sifuna, who is ODM Secretary-General, departed the Senate in the middle of the session. He expressed dissatisfaction with the current situation.
But Kasmuel maintained this was incorrect. "Even if you don't like the questions, you must remain and respond. "That's your job," he said.Kasmuel also stated that leaders must accept criticism.
"Politics is more than just winning elections and being popular. It's also about assisting others and answering queries.
"Walking out shows weakness, not strength," he explained. Many Kenyans are discussing Sifuna's walkout on social media.
Some are pleased that he protested what they see as unfair treatment of Sakaja. Others agree with Kasmuel, saying leaders must face questions and not flee when things get tough.
Kasmuel concluded by urging all politicians to set positive examples. "We must show Kenyans the importance of accountability. If we avoid uncomfortable questions, we are teaching the incorrect lesson.
Leaders should always stay and respond to the people they serve, he said.
This topic has sparked widespread discussion in Kenya regarding leadership and responsibility. People are waiting to see what Sifuna will do next and whether additional leaders will attempt to walk out in the future.
