Sunday, June 23, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has expressed concern that his key supporters backing his efforts for Mount Kenya unity are facing targeted intimidation.
Addressing a church gathering in Ruiru, Gachagua reiterated
that his attempts to unify leaders and residents of the central region have met
significant challenges.
He highlighted receiving reports of leaders aligned with him
being pressured to sever their ties with him.
"Some are being intimidated, they are being coerced, and some are also being threatened.
"If you call for unity you shall not have projects.
"If you are seen with the deputy president things will never be the
same," he said.
However, he dismissed his critics, emphasizing that
criticism and unwarranted motives have been inherent in Kenyan politics since
independence.
He reaffirmed that his advocacy for the “one man, one
vote, one shilling” principle remains steadfast and unstoppable.
"I want to confirm that the unity of the mountain is
unstoppable. It is complete. The remaining task is to unite one per cent of
other dissenting leaders."
In the move to woe unity from other leaders outside Mount
Kenya, the DP expressed his interest in working closely with Wiper
Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
In the most unlikely event, the three political bigwigs
including Democratic Action Party leader Eugine Wamalwa backed his unity quest.
The second in command called on other leaders to follow suit
and unite other regions.
During his unity call, he hinted at establishing new political
partners in readiness for possible political realignments.
