Saturday, September 14, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has responded after 48 Members of Parliament from the Mt. Kenya region denounced him and endorsed Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki as the region's political kingpin.
Speaking at the Central Kenya ASK show's
official opening in Kabiru-ini grounds, Nyeri, on Friday, Gachagua termed the
MPs as sell-outs.
The DP likened them to characters from an old
Kikuyu tale involving a hyena and a hare where the hyena and the hare agree to
beat their wives.
In the tale, the hare cleverly uses drums to
avoid inflicting harm, leaving the hyena to do all the damage.
"Do you know our hyenas? Do you know them? Do you know them? Now our people, with everything that is going on, is there anything that you do not know?
"You know who the hyena is in this story, and you know the fools beating their wives.
"Despite the tribulations, I will stand
firm. I fought for this government, and I will not move," Gachagua posed
The second in command further insisted that the
MPs were motivated by personal greed rather than the interests of the Mt Kenya
community.
He accused them of attempting to create
divisions within the region for their gain, undermining the unity of the Kenya
Kwanza administration.
Gachagua revealed his awareness of the political
maneuvering at play and his readiness to address it in due course.
"I do not know a lot of things. I am
not so clever, but I am no fool either. There's is something that I know and
when the right time comes I will speak," he said.
