‘Mtu Asiwadanganye!’ – Ruto Allies Tell Mt Kenya Residents While Slamming Gachagua
A group of President William Ruto’s supporters has urged the Mt Kenya electorate to reject any persuasion attempts by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
They encouraged them to withdraw their support for the Kenya Kwanza administration, just days before his party’s start.
Led by National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, the leaders rallied support for the current administration’s initiatives, stating that they do not want the Mt Kenya people to lose sight of what they stand to gain.
They were running an empowerment campaign in the previous DP’s Mathira constituency.

“For us, we want to focus on the agenda that we promised the people of Kenya — the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda,” said Ichung’wa.
“There are others who want us to engage in the politics of hatred and division. We want to tell them: we have no time.”
“Sisi twamshukuru Rais sana, na sana sana kwa sababu tumeona kwa mara ya kwanza bajeti ambayo imependekezwa haiongezi ushuru, ila inajaribu kuziba mashimo tulikuwa tunapotezea ushuru — na hiyo tunamshukuru sana,” Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga added.
The leaders stated that it is unwise to lose out due to politics designed to benefit personal interests.

“Mtu asikudanganye. Wewe umepiga kura juzi, umepanga laini, alafu mtu anakwambia saa hii twende tuanze siasa ya 2027 — utakaa mjinga sana,” said Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi.

“Saa hii ni wakati ya kuita unaambia, ‘tunataka hii,’ unaambia wabunge ‘tuletee hii,’ unaambia mwingine ‘tuletee hii,’ unaambia mwingine ‘utupange hapo’. William Ruto akikuja, utuongezee soko, tuongezee hii barabara.”
Empowerment forums have expanded in Central Kenya following President Ruto’s visit there a month ago.
However, they have been interpreted as a ploy by the head of state to win back the affection of an area that has grown increasingly hostile to the ruling coalition.
