We are fully behind RIGATHI GACHAGUA despite his foul mouth – Mt Kenya leaders say

 

Monday, October 23, 2023 – Over 50 Mt Kenya region leaders and opinion shapers have said they fully support Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s bid to unite the region which was sharply divided before the 2022 presidential election.

Speaking on Saturday at the Nyeri Golf Club, businessmen and women, professionals, and political leaders from the Mt Kenya region, said they support Gachagua’s effort to unite and steer economic growth and development of the region.

“We are delighted by your presence in this forum. We urge you to follow in the footsteps of former President Mwai Kibaki and make the golf tournament an annual event. Kibaki was the patron of the club and played golf for 40 years.

“Continue with his legacy because you are our leader,” said Nyeri Town MP Maina Mathenge and Trade and Investments expert Daniel Wamahiu.

They said it was time to forge a united front in the pursuit of the interests of the region and support President Ruto’s government.  

“We are coming together as Mt Kenya leaders behind the Deputy President to address our political and economic interests such as unemployment,” EALA MP Kanini Kega said.

Gachagua said, “Since it is not an electioneering period, the country should be united,” promising to consolidate the region for the purpose of its growth and development.
