Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has warned of a scheme aimed at diving the Mt Kenya region ahead of the next polls.
He dismissed the attempts insisting that the masterminds would not succeed.
This comes a fortnight after a section of MPs from the region promised to rally behind Kiharu Lawmaker Ndindi Nyoro as far as political supremacy in the region is concerned.
“Those scheming to divide the region should know that the people of Mt Kenya are intelligent and are aware of what is happening. Those seeking to divide us are enemies of the region,” he charged.
Gachagua was speaking at Kiambu Golf Club on Saturday night. It was during a Thanksgiving for golf champion Michael Karanga. He warned that the stakes are too high and Mt Kenya region cannot afford to have division.
“Our relevance in national leadership lies in our unity. We know what disunity and divisive politics did us in the 1992 and 1997 elections,” he said
The DP is instead calling on leaders to focus on growing the economy. He wants the region’s leaders to unite and promote more youth participation in productive, economic activities.
