Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua expressed satisfaction after former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria was heckled during an event in Murang’a, highlighting that it was a sign that the people of Mount Kenya are listening to his leadership.
Speaking at a church service on Sunday, Gachagua reflected on the incident, where Kuria was denied a chance to speak about the potential risks facing the region if it remains politically isolated.
Gachagua used the opportunity to stress the need for unity among the people of Mount Kenya and the importance of forming alliances with other regions ahead of the 2027 elections.
“I am happy to see that the people of Mount Kenya are listening and responding to the message of unity,” Gachagua said. “If we isolate ourselves from other communities, national leadership will be far from us.”
He warned that Mount Kenya’s votes are few compared to other regions, and without unity, the community risks political marginalization.
“You saw what happened during the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in the National Assembly. Our votes are few. We must work together with others to succeed,” he explained.
Gachagua also called on local leaders to stop misguiding the people with the notion that Mount Kenya can win politically on its own.
“We must stop promoting the idea that we can go it alone. It’s time to do the right politics and unite with others to ensure our political survival,” he said.
