Kalonzo Musyoka recently visited Karen Hospital to check on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who is reportedly receiving treatment.
The visit was a show of solidarity from Kalonzo, who, despite being part of the opposition, has frequently expressed support for Gachagua in challenging times.
This visit underscores Kalonzo’s commitment to standing by Gachagua, especially in light of the political tensions that have surrounded the former Deputy President, including past impeachment attempts.
Kalonzo has previously defended Gachagua, particularly during moments of political adversity, arguing that attempts to sideline him were part of broader political schemes.
Kalonzo has emphasized the need for unity in the country and has criticized efforts aimed at dividing key regions, such as Mount Kenya.
He reiterated that Gachagua’s struggles should not be used to distract from pressing national issues that require more attention.
The relationship between Kalonzo and Gachagua has been somewhat unexpected, but Kalonzo’s actions highlight his stance on political inclusivity and respect for leadership, even across party lines.
This visit to the hospital can be seen as part of Kalonzo’s broader efforts to bridge political divides in Kenya, advocating for peace and respect amid heightened political tensions.
