Moses Kuria just declared open political war on Rigathi Gachagua, calling him a dangerous man. The former Public Service Cabinet Secretary fired off a message on the social media platform X, directly responding to Gachagua's recent jab, labeling Kuria's Chama Cha Kazi party a mere wheelbarrow. Kuria stated that while he initially opposed President William Ruto's reelection, he currently supports it. He warned Gachagua had picked a fight with the wrong person, vowing to deal with him personally from now on, stating their conflict is now strictly between the two of them.
Gachagua's original comments came during a funeral at Makomboki Primary School in Kigumo, Murang'a County, for the mother of Embakasi North MP James Gakuya. He pushed for unwavering unity among leaders and voters in the Mt Kenya region, arguing that political division weakens their collective bargaining power before elections. He urged a rejection of new political outfits to maintain a single, unified front, suggesting that votes only matter when placed in one basket.
He specifically targeted smaller parties linked to figures like Moses Kuria, former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo, and Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri, dismissively referring to them as wheelbarrows. Gachagua also cautioned the Murang'a crowd about another unnamed political formation being developed locally, advising them to avoid what he called traps. His emphasis was on preserving Mt Kenya's leverage in national politics through collective decision-making, claiming that fragmentation only serves outside interests and reduces the region's ability to negotiate for development projects and political representation. This exchange highlights the intensified maneuvering and alliance shifts within the key Mt Kenya voting bloc.
