A group of politicians working with Rigathi Gachagua wants the Public Service Cabinet Secretary, Geoffrey Ruku, gone. These leaders, mostly from Embu County, are calling for President William Ruto to fire them. They accuse Ruku of making hateful statements that could split the Mt Kenya region, pitting the East against the West. They claim his words go against the president's unity goals.

The politicians held a press conference to demand Ruku's resignation. They argued his derogatory comments create risk where none existed before, as these communities have long lived together peacefully. They told the president to show Ruku the door if he is serious about national cohesion. They also slammed Ruku for focusing on politics instead of his job, pointing to crises in local hospitals that need his attention.

These Gachagua allies also criticized the National Cohesion and Integration Commission. They accused the unity watchdog of ignoring Ruku's alleged misconduct while chasing other politicians for similar things. This whole situation started after Ruku spoke at a goat auction in Baringo. He attacked Gachagua directly, calling him a drama creator who spreads hatred against the government. Ruku dismissed Gachagua's claimed influence in Mt Kenya, citing a recent by-election loss in Mbeere North as proof he is not the region's kingpin.
