Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has slammed the media for giving airtime to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Taking to his official social media account on February 26, Kaluma criticized the press for giving Gachagua airtime, claiming it could result in chaos before the 2027 elections.
The lawmaker reprimanded Gachagua for fueling division and anarchy in the nation with his media comments.
"There will be increased violence in 2027 than ever before in Kenya if people like Gachagua are not stopped from fueling division and triggering anarchy," Kaluma said.
Kaluma also criticised the media for being irresponsible and unethical in providing balanced coverage since the 2022 general election.
"If Kenyan media continue to follow this unethical, unprofessional, and irresponsible path of broadcasting poison, no one will survive the collapse of our country," Kaluma asserted.
In an interview today with a Kamba radio station, Gachagua dared President William Ruto to arrest him, vowing to reveal the truth about the government he once served.
Gachagua, who was impeached in 2024, has been granted frequent airtime on Kenyan media, never missing an opportunity to express his anger toward his former boss.
The former Deputy President continues to blame Ruto’s government for poor governance and the betrayal of the Mount Kenya people.
On Sunday, December 15, 2024, Gachagua was on Inooro TV for an interview, during which he accused Ruto of sidelining Cabinet Secretaries and other leaders and making decisions without consulting.
In a separate interview on Thursday, February 4, 2025, Gachagua accused Ruto of offering him Ksh2 billion to resign.
Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka echoed Kaluma's sentiments, stating that it was inappropriate for the former Deputy President to continuously attack the Head of State on public forums and media platforms.
