‘We Are In A Cage!’ – UDA MP Exposes How Ruto Has Captured The Parliament

Githunguri Member of Parliament (MP) Gathoni Wamuchomba claims that Members of Parliament (MPs) are always pressured into voting for a measure in Parliament.

Wamuchomba claimed on Citizen TV’s Daybreak Show that calls from the State House and prefects in the Kenya Kwanza administration are made to legislators before they vote on the floor.

Kenyan legislators, according to the loud politician, operate from “cages of political patronism, of being called when you are on the floor of the house and being told how to vote.”

“Every politician will say they are not in that cage but I can confess that no single vote happens in Parliament without them receiving a call from the Majority Leader, Majority Whip, State House,” Wamuchomba said on Monday. 

“We saw them during (Rigathi Gachagua’s)impeachment, we saw them during the Finance Bill.”

Wamuchomba consequently remarked that Gachagua’s all-out battle with the government is mostly facilitated by his lack of political affiliation.

“That is the cage Rigathi Gachagua was in and now that he is out of that cage he can be able to speak. Some of us are very conflicted because we are never comfortable in the cage,” she opined.

Since his impeachment in October 2024, Gachagua has criticized the State for what he calls feeble leadership, blaming President William Ruto and his administration for poor governance.
