Public criticism of bursary fund misuse in counties: In his capacity as committee chair, Osotsi has publicly exposed what he calls rampant misuse of bursary funds by counties, describing bursary allocations as “another conduit of corruption” and calling for their abolition unless reforms are implemented. While this reflects oversight activism, it has drawn political pushback from county governments and officials who view the statements as adversarial.

Strong comments against judiciary and electoral processes: Osotsi has made public statements accusing the judiciary of acting as a stumbling block in reconstitution matters of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, and more broadly critiqued institutional integrity in Kenya’s governance systems. These remarks have stirred debate over parliamentary conduct and the relationship between legislators and constitutional institutions.

ICT Bill critique and tech sector backlash: As a parliamentary actor with an ICT background, Osotsi has been vocal in debating ICT policy, including criticism of proposed bills that he argues could marginalise smaller players. Some stakeholders in the tech sector have accused him of inconsistent positions—supporting innovation broadly but resisting specific regulatory drafts—leading to tension in ICT forums.

Partisan tensions around oversight and public statements: His strong oversight posture of county governments and vocal stance on corruption and devolved matters have placed him at the centre of partisan tension in Vihiga and nationally, with some critics arguing that his public statements risk undermining institutional collaboration and devolved governance harmony.
