Kikuyu lawmaker Kimani Ichungwah fired back at people who label him with mean nicknames. He believes these names try to weaken leaders working with the government and pull their focus away from real problems facing citizens. During his Saturday speech at an event in Igembe North, Meru county, he asked critics to talk about useful things instead of making up rude titles. The politician defended his work record and said his leadership comes from helping citizens, not from empty talk against others.
Ichungwah mentioned hearing all the names they call him but stated he would still answer if it meant the Kahero road would receive pavement. He stressed that road improvements and market construction matter most to regular people. Progress remains his main goal despite whatever others might say. He criticized those who put negative labels on other government leaders and promised they would keep serving citizens and pushing ahead with planned development projects regardless of name-calling.
The representative explained that they would accept nicknames if they came alongside finishing their development plans. He added that keeping promises ranked as their top concern, and if name tags resulted from their success, they had zero problems with that. He spoke partly in his native Kikuyu language, saying that any name can fit a child and that leaders should just answer and focus on growth when others mock them. Ichungwah belongs to the group of politicians supporting President William Ruto.
These allies have camped throughout Mt Kenya, preparing for the president's upcoming visit next week. Ruto plans to travel the region for seven days starting April 1, hoping to win back support from locals who felt betrayed when he removed his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, from office. The president faces an uphill battle reconnecting with voters who once strongly backed his leadership but have grown increasingly skeptical following recent political moves that affected regional representation within his administration.
