Sunday, September 1, 2024 - Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah may have landed himself in serious trouble after disrespecting Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in front of President William Ruto.
Gachagua and Ichung'wah
accompanied the president to Nyanza for a four-day working tour.
At every opportunity to speak,
the Kikuyu lawmaker, who is also the Leader of the Majority in the National
Assembly, directed his epithets at Gachagua, whom he accused of advancing
tribal politics.
In Siaya and Kisumu, Ichung'wah confronted Gachagua as the latter watched, accusing the deputy president of trying to sow division and exclusion by allegedly blocking former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his allies from accessing State House, only to be caught off guard when Baba joined President William Ruto's government.
Reacting to the MP's recent
displays of anger against Gachagua, lawyer Donald Kipkorir said he was out of
order.
Kipkorir implied that it was unwise for Ichung'wah to challenge a senior leader without respect, adding that his continued attacks on the deputy president would accomplish nothing.
Kipkorir's sentiment was echoed by Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang'wah, who found it imprudent for the lawmaker to continue attacking the deputy president, especially when Nyanza leaders had warmly welcomed Gachagua.
The senator said the issue would
be dealt with, perhaps politically, after the president concludes his tour of
Nyanza.
Karungo petitioned Gachagua's
detractors to rally behind the president in uniting the country and maintaining
focus on the nation's development agenda at the expense of what he said was
engaging in petty politics.
