Kindiki blasts Gachagua, accuses him of sowing division among Kenyans

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has condemned the recent heckling of leaders in Embu during the visit of former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.

Two days after Gachagua took to Embu, calling out leaders for their silence on abductions, Kindiki on Sunday attended a church service in Kimumu, Mbeere North.

In reference to a burial ceremony, where the crowd refused to listen to the President’s speech as a sign of growing discontent, Kindiki accused Gachagua of incitement and warned him against propagating division.

“If you have your own issues, don’t bring them here. I have given him all the respect, but he must also respect me...," said the DP.

Kindiki further blasted Gachagua for creating rifts among Kenyans without offering any practical solutions to the problems at hand.

“You can’t be a leader who listens to the people’s grievances, then cries and complains without offering solutions. All you do is fuel anger and frustration,” he said.

He also warned fellow leaders against fueling unnecessary political temperatures by attacking one another, calling out attempts to smear each other as bad leadership.

With some questioning Kindiki's silence and absence from the public eye, he dismissed it as mere sideshows.

“Watch this space. We know what Kenyans expect, and we’re focused on solving the real issues,” he said.
