Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday, April 27, launched a scathing attack on Mount Kenya Members of Parliament and Senators who have chosen to collaborate with the Kenya Kwanza administration and President William Ruto.
Speaking in Nyandarua, Gachagua urged the central region residents to take note of leaders who had maintained their loyalty to the region and vote for them in 2027, and do the vice versa by unseating those he termed as traitors of the mountain.
In his impassioned address, the former DP lauded Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) of Nyandarua for reportedly refusing to be bribed to snitch to the government as their Members of Parliament (MPs) had.
"I want to thank our MCAs from Nyandarua County, the Speaker and the Leader of Majority for bringing pride to the county because they refused to sell our community like the MPs who sold us for Ksh500,000," Gachagua stated.
"For the ones who sold the community out over greed, when the time comes, you know what to do because all the problems we have are because of traitors like them."
Gachagua went on to mirror the predicament with that of the colonisers capturing the region because of some traitors who would spy on the Mau Mau for the white man.
He further claimed that this was the reason why the Mau Mau would rather finish off a traitor first before the colonisers because of how dangerous they were.
Therefore, he tasked the voters in the region to include such MPs in their plan to make Ruto a one-term president.
"All these plans that Ruto is putting in place to make us suffer, because he is not planning good things for us, are being strengthened by the people who spy on the region for him," Gachagua claimed.
"So even as you say you do not like Ruto, your first job in 2027 should be to chase away all the traitors so that you can choose followers who will take care of our community."
Since his impeachment in October 2024, the former second-in-command has been on a mission to blast the government of the day, often blasting his former boss and revealing deep intrigues into his regime.
Often, Mount Kenya politicians who took the side of President William Ruto in the divorce have been subjected to his tirades stemming from rumours that MPs and MCAs were paid Ksh500,000 and Ksh100,000, respectively, to support his impeachment.
