Let's not be jealous of each other, Gachagua tells Mt Kenya leaders

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has called on Mount Kenya leaders to embrace and respect each other.

The DP was speaking at Endarasha Catholic church during a fundraiser event on Sunday.

Gachagua said that the unity of the region is paramount for its growth and prosperity.

"Our unity is our strength and let's not be used to divide our people. We should love each other and stay united," the DP said.

He noted that the Kenya Kwanza administration is committed to serving the electorate that put them in office.

Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga said that there are enough indications that the DP is being fought.

He rallied the Mount Kenya people to support Gachagua or risk being divided.

"Where there is smoke there is fire and we must support Rigathi Gachagua as our leader," Kahiga said.

Former Laikipia women representative Cate Waruguru echoed Kahiga 's sentiment adding that the region is rallying behind Gachagua for the sake of unity.

She pointed out that there are individuals who are being used to fight the deputy president

"We know them by name and mostly they didn't believe in the Kenya Kwanza government during the campaigns, if they want to be deputy president they should come to us just like the DP did, "Waruguru said.

Naivasha MP Jane Kihara said President William Ruto appointed Gachagua as his deputy based on his abilities.

She said that the people should support the duo for the realisation of the Kenya Kwanza manifestos.

"We must support Gachagua as our leader and Mount Kenya leaders must work together, we don't want people to be divided," Kihara said.
