Mr Gachagua said he left President Ruto's UDA party. He talked about this on Sunday night. He felt sad about joining UDA for the last big vote in 2022. He thinks his people wanted their party instead.
He told everyone they made a mistake. Their area needs a special party to help them win votes. Mr Gachagua promised this would never happen again. He wants things to change next time.
Mr Gachagua started a new party. He works hard to make it strong. He believes this new party will help his people make better choices. The new party will let them decide things by themselves.

Mr Gachagua thinks the old way of helping students pay for school worked better. He talked about this from his house in Nyeri on Sunday. He remembers how the old plan called HELB helped many students go to school.
He shared what people told him about the new school money plan. Many students cannot attend the schools they want because they need more help paying for them. Mr Gachagua said people ask him to help raise money for students who want to learn at big schools.
President Ruto made a new plan to clarify school money. He believed the old system confused people, and he wanted everyone to understand how students receive help with school costs.
The new plan divides students into different groups based on their families' monthly...
Mr Gachagua thinks the house-building plan needs clearer rules. He spoke about this after people said he wasn't good at his job. He worries because he tried to say these things before.
He asked why some people must pay money from their jobs for new houses. Many of these people already own homes, and others are paying back the money they borrowed to build their houses. Mr Gachagua believes this isn't fair.
President Ruto started this house plan last year. He made a rule that people who work must give money from their pay. The rule says workers give a small part of their earnings, and their bosses must match that money. Many people didn't like this rule and went to court about it.
The new house plan arrived with other money rules...
Mr Gachagua talked on TV about President Ruto's work around Kenya on Sunday. He spoke from his house. He wanted everyone to know they helped President Ruto visit different places to improve them.
Mr Gachagua heard someone say the Central area needed to be extra nice to the President. This person thought being nice would make the President help their area more. But Mr Gachagua disagreed. He said people pay their taxes, and that means they should receive help without begging.

On Sunday, Mr Gachagua discussed health care. He shared his thoughts from his home about why he doesn't like the new health plan called SHIF. He thinks this plan lacks clear rules and proper planning.
People feel worried because the new health plan isn't working well. The government changed from the old plan called NHIF to the new one last October. Mr Gachagua believes they made this change very quickly without asking everyone what they thought about it.
Mr Gachagua liked parts of the new plan. He likes that it helps people with all kinds of sickness, even the ones that last a long time. But he wishes they had taken more time to make sure everything worked before starting it.
Ms Barasa, who leads the health team, promises everything...
Mr Gachagua wants people to know he never told anyone to stay near the Nairobi Rivers when they shouldn't. He talked about this on Sunday. He remembered making promises during their election plans. They said they would protect people's homes, and that's what he tried to do.
Mr Gachagua noticed something important. The government knocked down houses near the rivers, but they didn't plant any trees there like they said they would. He thinks the country needs to work on different things than what the Kenya Kwanza team wants to do.
Some people thought Mr Gachagua did something wrong. They even made him go to the Senate because they believed he told people to stay near the water. But he says he just wanted to keep the promises they made to...

Last December, Mr Gachagua said something serious. He believed the government wanted these bad drinks to be sold in the Mt Kenya area. He thought the government told its workers to let people make and sell these harmful drinks.
Mr Omollo, an important government worker, disagreed with Mr Gachagua. He said Mr Gachagua...
