‘Msitupangie siasa ya Mlima Kenya’ – Gachagua slams Rift Valley leaders
Deputy President Rigathii Gachagua on Saturday, May 25, 2024, took a swipe at a section of Rift Valley leaders over claims that they were interfering with Mount Kenya politics.
Addressing the matter at the Mother of Apostles Seminary Grounds in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, during the coronation of Reverend John Kiplimo Lelei, the DP furiously told off the leaders whom he says are close allies of President William Ruto saying it was unrealistic that they were planning for the president's heir yet he is still alive, he urged the leaders to instead focus on their current roles to serve the electorates.
"Sasa iko watu engine mumeshikana hapa Rift Valley na vijana engine huko kwetu ati mnapanga siasa ya 2032, nyinyi mnataka kumridhi rais William Ruto akiwa hai? Sasa hii upuzi ya 2032 ni ya nini? Can we focus? So the problem Senator Mandago, is a few leaders of this region who have proximity to the president. Mnakoroga siasa ya huko kwetu, kudanganya watu ati waanze kupanga mambo ya 2032," Gachagua said.
The DP further asked the mentioned leaders to refrain from poking their noses into Mount Kenya politics stressing that it was too complicated for them to understand.
He additionally said that every leader should focus on the politics of their region and avoid plotting on the politics of other regions.
"Naomba watu wa Bonde la ufa tafadhali sisi tuliunga rais mkono kwa hiari yetu na kupenda, na tunaendelea kumuunga mkono, tunaomba heshima kidogo, msijaribu kutupangia siasa ya mlima Kenya na uongozi wa Mlima Kenya, nyinyi mpange siasa yenu na uongozi wenu. Siku William Ruto atastaafu after 10 years sisi hatutaingilia vile mnataka kupanga, nyinyi mtapanga wenyewe. Siasa ya huko kwetu hamuezani nayo, ni ngumu sana. The politics of the mountain is so complicated it can only be understood by the mountaineers," Gachagua added.
