Following his historic impeachment, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made a strong appeal to young Kenyans, urging Generation Z to actively register as voters, emphasizing their potential impact in upcoming elections.
Gachagua, who spoke during a church service, expressed his intent to guide his followers in the future, implying that the youth could help shape the region’s political direction.
He highlighted the demographic strength of the Mt. Kenya region, encouraging its youth to see voting as a means of securing their interests and representation.
Gachagua attributed his impeachment to his firm stance against what he described as government oppression.
He voiced his belief that he was targeted for his commitment to the promises of the Kenya Kwanza alliance, including fair treatment of citizens, particularly in issues like forced evictions.
Reflecting on a recent court decision mandating compensation for affected citizens, Gachagua took it as validation of his advocacy against injustices, emphasizing that he stood firm for the well-being of ordinary Kenyans.
In his message to the church and residents of Mt. Kenya, Gachagua advised patience and resilience.
Acknowledging the church’s reservations with the current administration, he reassured them that plans for a strategic response are in progress.
He encouraged Mt. Kenya residents to maintain composure and solidarity, suggesting that their voice will be heard when the time is right.
Gachagua’s message reinforced his continued dedication to the promises made to his constituency, aiming to remain influential despite his recent removal from office.
