Gachagua accuses Mt Kenya MPs of sabotage on Ruto's orders

Speaking on Sunday at AIPCA Gatumbi Church in Lari, Kiambu County, Gachagua alleged that Members of Parliament allied to President Ruto are receiving money to fund youth-led disruptions during his church visits and public meetings.

He claimed that groups of young people are paid to hurl stones at his motorcade in what he termed as a deliberate attempt to undermine his influence.

"It is unfortunate that leaders from our region are being used so blatantly," Gachagua said. "They are paying our youths to cause chaos while youths from other regions—including the President’s own backyard—are being offered government jobs in the military, police, and agencies like KRA. Why can't our leaders see what is happening? How foolish can they be?"

The former deputy president also demanded that President Ruto issue an official apology to the families of victims who perished in the 2007/2008 Kiambaa Church tragedy. Gachagua urged the President to meet the bereaved parents, offer a formal apology, and initiate a compensation plan.

Additionally, Gachagua criticized what he described as a "casual" approach to justice for young people allegedly killed or abducted during the Gen Z protests. He called for Ruto to hold a one-on-one meeting with the affected families, acknowledge specific actions, and outline a clear plan for redress.

"How can a President offer such a casual apology for such serious crimes like the killing of Gen Z protestors?" Gachagua questioned.

Mocking Kenya Kwanza allies who claim the opposition lacks a strategy, Gachagua declared that the opposition’s main goal is to remove Ruto from office in 2027 in order to "root out corruption and other vices" in the current administration.

He vowed to campaign aggressively to ensure that the Mt Kenya leaders he accuses of betrayal are not re-elected in the 2027 General Election.

“You will face the wrath of the people from Mt Kenya come 2027,” he warned
