Rigathi Gachagua finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place. When he took the Mt. Kenya Jubilee wing MPs to meet Ruto, he thought he could have them safely on his side as allies, since the region’s UDA MPs are in Ruto’s corner not his. He has quickly realized that the newcomers have very fast aligned to his boss’ side because of the kind of interests they are after, which means once again he is on his own. This is what informed his statement yesterday that those joining their side now should take a back seat as priority will be given those who were in Kenya Kwanza during the campaign. It was a reaction to the betrayal he is facing.
Behind the scenes he has also been dealing with another bigger issue. Remember when he announced that majority of the remaining appointments will go to Kikuyus. Well, it has been one disappointment after another, which has resulted to heated arguments between him and his boss. As we speak, a new battle is shaping up regarding upcoming deployment of ambassadors. Rigathi has insisted that in those stations which are currently held by Kikuyus, replacement should be Kikuyu.
Apparently, there is particular attention to the US. President Ruto intends to appoint former Amaco CEO Elizabeth Koskei as our Permanent Representative to the UN in New York, and appoint Willy Bett as Kenya’s Ambassador to the US. Rigathi is arguing that the New York posting should be given to a Kikuyu since the current holder of the office is a Kikuyu, and that it would be unfair for Ruto to give those two positions based in the US to the people of his community, while Rigathi gets non for his people.
Ruto sio mjinga, anajua vizuri hangekuwa Rais kama sio 84% ya Gema votes Gachagua alileta to Kenya kwanza.
Last thing he would want, is to start a fight with his main player on the team
Ruto sio mjinga. Anajua punda alishafikisha mzigo. He doesn’t need mount kenya tugeges anymore. The gloves are off mkileta shida amebeba pliers kwa mfuko awafinye.
He needs Mt Kenya more than ever for his second term.
Hata Uhuru aliplay safe first half/term…venye aliingia his second term, gloves were off because he knew he no longer had anything to lose.
Ruto being a smart political player, obviously ata cheza safe hii term ya kwanza
And Gachietha didn’t bring any vote. They’d still have voted the way they voted if you substitute Gachietha with anyone. Maybe hed have more if he chose Ndindi or Kindiki
I shared the same thought that jamaa will play it cool term ya Kwanza but apparently ni msee hajali. Anyway its in public domain that from recent appointment in parastatals they have replaced many okuyus with kalees. Time will tell will prove us right or wrong
We are still way better off without Uhuru/Kenyattas, the dynasties, the kitchen cabinet and Jakuon at the top ruling us. Nyinyi mnacheza sana mkisema WSR atawakalia. Just flip this and put Jakuon at the helm…moto sana…just look at Jalang’o saa hii and get the vibe…yikes!!!
Jambaz is gonna have solid western kenya support come 2027… whether gema cry out loud or not the fact remains he won’t need them anymore… in fact they gonna be isolated if they decide to cry out loud
I agree, but it had to be someone from Mt Kenya, to atleast Garner that compact Majority. Gachagua was chosen against all odds, and now he is Mt Kenya’s man on the throne, the same man is already making in roads in Rift valley, endearing himself to kalenjin people, just following the same script as his Boss(Ruto)… Endelea kudharau huyu Gachagua but I tell you 2032 seat is his to lose
Ruto dosen’t need shiny eyes because he dosen’t need a clean election he has set all his pawns in positions of power sasa bado IEBC ,let gachagua keep barking , he should be taking kale lessons because its a kale affair !
