Rigathi Gachagua Defends Hateful Remarks By Mithika Linturi, Says He Was Right

Date:

Mathira member of parliament Rigathi Gachagua has defended Meru senator Mithika Linturi following his hateful remarks at the Eldoret Sports Club.

According to Rigathi Gachagua, there was nothing wrong with Mithika Linturi’s madoadoa remarks because he also urged the residents to only vote for leaders who support deputy president William Ruto.

Rigathi Gachagua further justified the sentiments by the Meru senator by comparing the same with previous remarks such as those of Suna East member of parliament Junnet Mohamed. Junet had some years back said that anyone who was found bribing Kibra voters ought to be punished by the locals.

However, these sentiments by Gachagua to defend Mithika Linturi attracted mixed reactions from various Kenyans as captured below:

“Criminals belong to jails, The government has invested the taxpayers money to construct and renovate so many jails Centers, That is where Linturi belongs to.”

“If you really want Ruto not to fall,these people accompanying him daily should first MIND their words!!!”

“Mheshimiwa Rigathi Gachagua former DO do you think Kenyans are that stupid?? How do you take us?? Why cant you man up and castigate what is wrong. We arent surprised with your post because these are the things you did to your fellow community when you were the district officer just to please president Moi. People like you cannot be allowed to reach anywhere near power coz you will misuse it. The almighty God wont allow you and your boss to take the mantle of leadership. Everyone in tangatanga do not posses any quality of a leader. You are a very useless leader full of ethnic hatred.”

“Its really sad for dictators to govern a nation. The connotation, was implying, was to elect UDA candidates in all positions and leave out those 3 MPs and senator opposed to WSR.. Nothing to do with communities!”

“You’re useless in this country, you’re defending evil doers may God punish you.”

“Such reckless talk is what lead to 2007 post election violence.. what was linturi thinking while making such utterance especially in Eldoret few metres from kiambaa where we lost 36 individuals?”

“You Forget that your Own blood brother ‘the late’ – The man you live under shadow of; was elected on a totally different party from the regional dominant party.”

“Linturi ajifunze kuongea.We know what he meant lakini am sure there are other words he could have used and still convey his message.Yes, others were not arrested,why can’t we do things differently?Why can’t we avoid trouble?Chungeni hizo midomo!”

“You people in UDA camp are bitter,that we know.Bitter with the government.How sure are you that you will form the next government?May Raila Ondiga becomes our president comes August.”

“Don’t twist it , there is no other interpretation of ondoa madoadoa in Kenya … He is a disgrace to the healing process this country has endured . I support the arrest of such divisive politicians this electioneering period.”

“This is how Ruto lost my vote, all the best Rigathi Gachagua and your UDA platoon, tell your friends Mt Kenya is not the same again, some of us will be voting Rao and the numbers will be more than 20% hence a win for Rao”

“Rigathi Gachagua Stop Defending Criminals…..He Is Just Doing Exactly What You Did In Chaka 5 Years Ago When You Bought Cannabis to Youths To Whip MCAs On Account Of Asking For Accountability From Your Governor (Your Brother) Who Was Plundering Nyeri County Money …You Will Pay One Day….Linturi Is A MESSAGER , We Should Go For The Owner of the Dog.”

Below is what Rigathi Gachagua wrote:

“The arrest of Senator Mithika Linturi on false allegations is a continuation of the use of the criminal justice system to harass and persecute leaders allied to the Deputy President William Ruto.

I was at the Eldoret rally and what Senator Linturi said is exactly what I told the residents of Uasin Gishu. He told the voters to vote out all leaders in the area opposed to the Deputy President. 

The utterances are being twisted to imply that the Senator was preaching ethnic incitement. It is a lie. The analogy he used has been previously used by Governor Kimemia and the ODM leader and then it was not deemed to be ethnic incitement. 

The person they should have arrested in Junet Mohamed when he called on Kibera residents to torch those opposed to voter bribery in Kibra. Luckily for us this persecution and intimidation of our team members will come to an end in exactly seven months from today.
