Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua – the man said to have been tapped to be Ruto’s running mate – is driving more and more people to Raila’s side thanks to his insults.
During Ruto’s rally in Nyeri on Sunday, Gachagua savagely attacked Kieni MP Kanini Kega for supporting Raila Odinga.
The Mathira MP used derogatory language by likening Kanini Kega to someone who would do anything like a lapdog to please Raila.
Gachagua’s insult rubbed many people the wrong way. Kameme FM breakfast show hosts Gatonye wa Mbugua and Muthee Kiengei on Monday hit out at the Mathira MP saying he was out of order to use obscene language on his fellow MP.
“I am very bitter with the Mathira MP for attacking his fellow man in front of children, women and elders using vulgar language. Those words should not come from a mouth of a man of his age. The Agikuyu community may forget but will never forgive him,” said Kiengei.
On his part, Gatonye said all leaders allied to Ruto, especially those from Mt Kenya, were fond of using offensive remarks on their opponents, adding that their pursuit for power is suspicious.
“If they can abuse and utter such words now when they have not in power, what will happen if they are elected? And why do they spew out indecent remarks when only campaigning in Mt Kenya? These are some of questions our people need to ask themselves about this group,” Gatonye said.
