Stop high-octane politics, DP Gachagua urges Mt Kenya leaders
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday
implored leaders from the Mt Kenya region to stop what he termed as high-octane
politics.
Addressing the faithful during a church service
in Baricho, Kirinyaga County, Gachagua urged leaders to focus on the
development agenda.
"The elections ended and the next
election cycle is 2027. Those who were elected should do their job; when the
time comes, aspirants will go to the people to seek support. Kenyans are
intelligent people; they are aware of the political developments. They will
make decisions at the ballot," he said.
DP Gachagua added; "Let us reduce
high-octane politics in the Mt Kenya Region. The other regions are calm and not
focusing on politics."
While urging the leaders to also shun
divisive politics, Mr Gachagua said working together for the greater good of
the country is a priority. He further asked Kenyans to give leaders space to
work.
"The voters will decide in the next
election cycle. Let us also be kind and do good deeds all the time and work on
the development," the DP said.
Gachagua also advised the leaders that
despite political differences "look back and do good to those who did good
deeds to you".
His comments came amid unfolding political intrigues within the vote-rich
Mt Kenya region, with some of the region’s leaders publicly severing ties with the DP and endorsing Interior Cabinet Secretary
Kithure Kindiki as their to President William Ruto.
This has caused
tension and set the stage for a potential political clash between CS Kindiki
and DP Gachagua on the control of Central region politics.
