A government official slams a rival for pushing revenge over progress. ICT Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo sharply criticized former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of having no development plan. Kabogo claimed Gachagua engages in divisive revenge politics against the Kenya Kwanza administration during a forum in Kirinyaga.
He argued the Mount Kenya region sees real benefits under President William Ruto's leadership. Kabogo highlighted infrastructure projects like the Nairobi-Thika Expressway expansion and affordable housing programs, creating jobs. He dismissed calls for a single presidential term as reckless and dangerous for the area's gains.
Kabogo urged regional unity to maximize development, warning that division would weaken collective bargaining power. His remarks were supported by Irrigation CS Eric Mugaa, who echoed the call for a united front. Mugaa cautioned against linguistic or boundary-based splits proposed by other leaders like CS Geoffrey Ruku.
Both ministers emphasized speaking with one voice to secure fair treatment and development projects from the national government. They framed unity as essential for maintaining influence and continuing socioeconomic progress under the current administration.
