GACHAGUA fumes as he goes after 2 Mt. Kenya Senators for causing him sleepless nights – Look!

 Friday, January 26, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has blasted Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga and his Muranga counterpart, Joe Nyutu, over engaging in premature 2027 political debates. 

Speaking in Meru County yesterday, Gachagua asked the two senators to focus on their oversight roles and keep off things that do not concern them.

"Those of us who have been specifically elected under UDA and Kenya Kwanza, we should focus on development, and articulate our statements because some, when they go on TV, get excited, lose focus, and engage in unnecessary matters. 

"We want senators to be careful because we have also seen another senator from Murang'a also speaking rubbish,” Gachagua stated.

The DP asked Meru Senator Kathuri Murungi to summon Nyutu and Wamatinga and advise them to keep off early political debates.

“Kathuri Murungi, you are the deputy speaker call those senators from Murang'a and Nyeri, sit them down, and tell them they are out of order,” Gachagua told Murungi.

Last week, Senator Nyutu said Gachagua is losing popularity in the Mt Kenya region and should be dropped as President Ruto’s running mate in the 2027 general election in favor of Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro.

“I would not want to see the president coming in with a running mate who is not popular. 

"I think there will be challenges with Gachagua hence Nyoro will be preferred as we are on the ground listening to people,” said Nyutu.

On the other hand, Wamatinga has been calling for the formation of a Mt Kenya political party ahead of the 2027 election, saying the region lacks a voice to bargain in the current administration.
