Gachagua says plan by President Ruto to isolate Mt Kenya region will not succeed

“I want to tell President William Ruto that your plan to isolate Mt Kenya region from the rest of Kenya and lock us out of government will not succeed. It will be defeated in Jesus name,” declared Gachagua in Laikipia on Sunday.

Former Deputy President has accused his former boss President Ruto of hatching a plan to isolate Mt Kenya region politically but warned him that he was bound to fail.

At the same time Gachagua accused President Ruto of reviving the outlawed Mungiki sect which he is unleashing to his political opponents in Mt Kenya.

He said both schemes will fail miserably saying Mt Kenya region rejected Mungiki along time ago and that his efforts of dividing Mt Kenya as West and East will also fail.

He was speaking in Laikipia County when he attended a church service at Matanya in Laikipia North the home turf of former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga who had been widely expected to storm the even in a similar fashion to what he did the previous in Nyeri town.

Maina accompanied by a group of his followers had on Saturday stormed a prayer event held at Nyeri’s Kamukunji grounds that was attended by Gachagua’s spouse Pastor Dorcas and disrupted it. Pastor Dorcas immediately left the grounds after Maina stormed in.

While condemning the incident, Gachagua said he was seeing a case of history repeating itself because after the late President Moi fell out with Mt Kenya region after destroying the economy and their livelihoods, he created the Mungiki sect that rained terror in the region using violence, murder and retrogressive practices.

He said after President Ruto destroyed the economy and the livelihoods of Mt Kenya people, he has now revived Mungiki that he is now unleashing to intimidate and harass his opponents just like Moi did.
