Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has strongly criticised his predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua, regarding allegations that he bribed Kikuyu musicians to attend an event at his residence in Karen, Nairobi. While addressing small-scale traders' SACCOs during an economic empowerment programme in Kabete, Kiambu County, Kindiki expressed his frustration and emphasised that the government would not condone the political intolerance that he accuses the former DP of promoting. ''For you, when you were a leader, whom did you bribe or take your wealth to?
The little that we give is not because we have excess wealth; it is out of good-heartedness,'' Kindiki stated. "Please stop lecturing us; we are not your children.
Do not make noise for me.
Do not bring that kind of backwards politics here in Central,'' the furious Kindiki added amid celebrations from the locals. A screengrab of furious Deputy President Kithure Kindiki lashing out at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during an empowerment program in Kiambu on May 25, 2025.
