Former Laikipia Woman Representative Cate Waruguru has told leaders from Mt Kenya to desist from attacking Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Waruguru said the DP supported some of the MPs who are now insulting him in the 2022 elections.
“Some leaders in Mt Kenya all they do from morning to evening is insult Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Some leaders are just insulting Gachagua from morning,” she said.
The former Woman Rep said the DP should not be entirely blamed for the problems facing the country.
“Rigathi is not the boss. He is the personal assistant and helper of the boss, the person we elected; President William Ruto,” she added.
She said Gachagua could not be edged out of the government as he went to all corners of Mt Kenya and the entire country hunting for votes.
“It cannot be that we contributed to the election of this administration and then we are kicked out or we leave,” she said.
“We are telling them to keep talking, insult the DP all you want, provided our votes are intact. We are waiting for you on D-Day.”
She added that Mt Kenya voters should not be taken for granted by the current leaders.
“I ask you Mt Kenya community, why do you like being lied to so much? Why do you hate people who tell you the truth? When I tell you the truth, you say I am insulting people,” she added.
Over 60 UDA MPs from Mt Kenya region and Nairobi have since broken ranks with Gachagua and declared the Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, saying he is now their link to Ruto.
They said they’re breaking ranks because “Mt Kenya region risks suffering lack of development with stalled projects”.
