Gachagua Denies Targeting Women Governors, Calls Critics 'Traitors'
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has denied claims that he is targeting female leaders, stating his criticism is directed at what he called "traitors" within the Mt Kenya region, regardless of gender. Speaking during a public address at his Wamunyoro residence, Gachagua hosted Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) aspirants from Murang’a County, where he clarified his stance on political opponents (peopledaily.digital).
The remarks come amid heightened political tensions in Kenya, with recent events including allegations of military abuse and a high-profile murder linked to an arrest, which have sparked public debate. Media outlets have noted how Gachagua’s statements often precede major announcements by President William Ruto, suggesting a growing influence in the political sphere (tuko.co.ke).
Gachagua’s comments reflect ongoing divisions within Kenya’s political landscape, as leaders continue to navigate challenges related to governance and public trust. His emphasis on loyalty and opposition to "traitors" underscores a broader narrative of political rivalry and accountability.
