Gachagua Accuses Ruto of Disrespecting Mountain Community with Meager Aid

Rigathi Gachagua, a prominent Kenyan politician, recently delivered a scathing critique of President William Ruto's approach to aid distribution in Murang'a County. Speaking at a church in Kangema, Gachagua accused Ruto of showing disrespect to the mountain community by providing only minimal assistance. "Umetudharau sana," Gachagua stated, translating to "You have disrespected us greatly." He cited the paltry offerings of beans, rice, and 500 shillings as evidence of this alleged disregard. Gachagua's comments are likely to fuel ongoing political tensions between the two figures. The video of the speech provides visual evidence of his claims, adding weight to the controversy. The incident underscores the ongoing debate about equitable resource distribution and political representation in Kenya.
