Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru on Wednesday, February 19, criticised Mt Kenya leaders who have been visiting former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at his Wamunyoro residence, warning that they would regret their actions.
Speaking at an event in her county, Waiguru faulted the leaders for engaging with the former DP, who, since his impeachment, has taken a leading role in holding the government to account.
The governor, who is allied with the ruling Kenya Kwanza administration, cautioned against the risks of being outside government, adding that Mt Kenya leaders seen at Wamunyoro risk losing out on elective positions. "I want to tell my fellow leaders from Mt Kenya not to rush to where you are being told to go (Wamunyoro).
Because even where you are being told to go, you are not the only one interested in getting a political endorsement to vie for office," Waiguru stated.
