Gachagua’s DCP Party Billboard Vandalized In Nairobi

A celebratory billboard commemorating the Democracy for the Citizens (DCP) party launch was knocked down in Nairobi, eliciting a variety of reactions.

An image released online depicted the billboard, which represented former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua (Riggy G), the DCP Party Leader, and Irungu Nyakera, as a mangled ruin.

The billboard read “Hongera Riggy G on your party launch,” and featured images of the two leaders.

On Saturday, May 17, Nyakera resorted to social media to protest the act and voice his disappointment with the billboard’s demolition.

“To the two illegitimate governments’ headquarters in Nairobi: You can destroy a billboard, but you cannot stop the message. Congratulations, Riggy, on DCP Launch. Agenda ni WANTAM for Kenya and Nairobi,” Nyakera stated.

“Politicians wa Kanairo/Kayole,—Isn’t it too early for this?” Nyakera further questioned the motive behind the act.

On May 15, Gachagua created a new party with the tagline “Skiza Wakenya” in bright green, brown, and white.

The party’s emblem depicts an ear with fingers clasped over it, which represents the act of listening.

Gachagua will lead the party, with Cleophas Malala, a former Kakamega Senator, serving as interim deputy party leader.

Mithika Linturi, former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary, will serve as the National Organising Secretary.
