President Ruto’s reception in Nyanza was scripted to humiliate Gachagua - Senator Joe Nyutu

Nyutu believes that there is a plot to weaken DP Gachagua, and that Ruto's alliance with the Nyanza region was designed to aggravate the situation.

"As people from Mount Kenya the happenings in the political landscape and one thing that was clear is that there was a script to humiliate the Deputy President," Nyutu said speaking with Citizen TV on Thursday.

The legislator also cited remarks made by Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga and Suna East MP Junet Mohamed during Ruto's visit.

Nyutu argued that the two's sentiments were condescending and directed at DP Gachagua.

"If you listened to Gladys Wanga and Junet Mohamed, they were very calculated in telling the Deputy President that there were also some mountains there which was calculated to humiliate the Deputy President," he said.

"I would liken the happenings now to a marriage that was hitherto a monogamy which is now polygamous."

He stated that, despite their support for the inclusion of opposition to the government, Mt Kenya leaders will keep a close eye on the country's political landscape and will be quick to point out anything suspicious.

"We are really observing to see whether this will lead to the isolation of Mount Kenya region but we are still solidly behind William Ruto and we know that he got into this marriage because the temperatures were very high and he did not do it without consultation," noted Nyutu.

"He consulted us and we agreed that we needed to form a government that included everybody."

President Ruto visited the region after appointing ODM leaders to Cabinet among them John Mbadi (Treasury), Opiyo Wandayi (Energy), Wycliffe Oparanya (MSMEs) and Hassan Joho (Mining).

This lies on DP Gachagua's continued onslaught against the opposition, ralling leaders from the Mt. Kenya region for his support, claiming that there is a scheme by some individuals to convince President Ruto to throw him under the political bus.

"I saw my sister Governor Wanga getting into a car used by the president and addressing a gathering from the sunroof. She will slowly learn how to handle herself in such a situation," Mr Gachagua said during Ruto's tour in Nyanza.
