Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has issued a strong warning to his predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua, for engaging in distracting and divisive politics.
In a statement on Sunday, Kindiki accused Gachagua of indulging in scandalous political behaviour.
“Mr Trap Man, your brief and scandalous political life has been sustained through shallow threats, hubris, pride and incompetence,” Kindiki stated.
He emphasised his determination not to succumb to the pressures created by opposition politics.
“Since your intention is to distract us, we will continue to focus on the important duty of building Kenya as is required of us by the responsibilties of office.However, we will still find the time to take you head on and obliterate your petty and juvenile theatrics in the most spectacular and decisive manner,” he added.
Kindiki appeared to be responding to Gachagua’s comments regarding Mount Kenya voters and the central politics.
Gachagua claimed that President William Ruto was furious at his deputy for failing to woo the voters.
“Even today, you said that you will not go to church, I want to promise you William Ruto, even if you spend Sh100 billion , even if you pay the youth to block the roads to stop me from going to church…whatever you do, this mountain is gone for good,” Gachagua said.
In response, Kindiki noted, “You are naively mistaken.”
Additionally, a section of leaders from the Kenya Kwanza coalition has continuously criticised Gachagua’s rhetoric, labelling it divisive and suggesting that it indicates an early push for campaigning.
