Ex-DP Rigathi Gachagua with a section of Kirinyaga leaders at his residence on February 8, 2025/RIGATHI GACHAGUA/XFormer Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Saturday met a group of Kirinyaga county leaders in a strategic effort to solidify his support base.
The meeting which followed a similar one with some lawyers in the morning was held at his Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri.
It was attended by Kirinyaga senator James Murango and woman representative Njeri Maina.
Also present were some MCAs who included David Mathenge (Baragwi Ward), Kinyua Wangui (Mutira Ward), Moses Maina (Kanyekini Ward), Eric Muchina (Kerugoya), Beatrice Mitaro (Wamumu) and Daisy Githinji (Kabage Ward).
During the meeting, Gachagua said they discussed the prevailing local sentiment across the county and the expectations of the people regarding current national developments.
“They also shared their proposals on what we should do as we plan onwards,” he stated.
While Gachagua is yet to make public his political plans, his engagement with leaders from across the country is seen as a strategy to bolster his influence in Mt Kenya and across the country.
On Saturday morning the former deputy president met a delegation of lawyers from the Law Society of Kenya.
"This morning, at our Wamunyoro residence, I had the privilege of having a candid discussion about the current state of our nation's politics with a delegation of lawyers from the Law Society of Kenya led by Wakili Steve Mbugua," he said.
"It was a thought-provoking conversation that shed light on their perspectives and offered valuable insights into the complexities of our nation's governance. They brought with them a broad range of perspectives, from constitutional law to human rights and how collectively we can uphold and promote the fundamental rights and freedom of all people. It is very clear from the outset that their expertise and collective experience will bring a unique and valuable contribution to our plans as we head forward."
