Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata has called on his colleagues to be vigilant as panic continues to grip Ruto’s camp following Raila Odinga’s mammoth rallies in Mt Kenya.
Tangatanga allies are still wondering how and why Raila is receiving heroic welcome in the Mt Kenya region, even though Ruto has been camping there for at least 7 years.
Ruto and his Tangatanga brigade were in Mukurweini, Nyeri on Wednesday September 29th to attend the burial of Mzee Kaguchia – father of Nyeri County Speaker John Kaguchia.
Speaking during the burial, Irungu Kang’ata stated that the biggest threat facing Ruto is Raila’s growing popularity in the vote-rich Mt. Kenya bloc.
The Murang’a senator cautioned Ruto that he should be worried seeing Raila make his entry to the Mt Kenya region and that they should not take it easy since it might cost them their support in the region.
The Murang’a senator went on to propagate Railaphobia in Mt. Kenya telling residents that the ODM leader is responsible for hike in fuel prices and that they should be very worried if he wins the presidency in 2022.
Speaking in his native Gikuyu language, Kangata desperately tried to paint Raila as bogeyman in Mt. Kenya, telling mourners the the region will suffer under a Raila presidency.
“Mr DP, Ndirenda gukwira ati ungeraka Raila athii nambere guka Mt Kenya, menya maundu no kuthuka marathuka. Mundu huyu aukire Jubilee na yakua. Thaa ishi maguta ma vetoro nimafadite vei.
(Mr DP, I want to tell you that is you allow Raila to continue to gain popularity in the Mt Kenya region, just know that things will be bad. This man came to our Jubilee party and you can see it’s now dead. Now as we speak Kenyans are spending their money on petroleum products and Uhuru is keeping quiet. Take care),” said Kangata.
