Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has cautioned former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua against making remarks that could deepen divisions in the Mount Kenya region.
Kindiki’s warning comes in the wake of tensions following Gachagua’s controversial statements, which critics say undermine efforts to unify the region under President William Ruto’s administration.
Deputy President emphasized that leadership should focus on fostering cohesion and serving all Kenyans rather than engaging in divisive rhetoric.
The Mount Kenya region, a significant political stronghold, has witnessed increasing political friction.
Kindiki stressed that as leaders, there is a responsibility to avoid language or actions that could fuel discord among communities.
Observers suggest that this caution reflects the administration’s broader goal of maintaining stability and focus amid ongoing challenges in governance and service delivery.
Gachagua, who was removed from office earlier this year, has faced accusations of inciting divisions. His successor, Kindiki, has pledged to prioritize unity and development in his new role.
As political dynamics continue to evolve, the administration is keen to ensure that the region remains a bastion of support while addressing emerging political and economic concerns.
