On Tuesday afternoon, DP Rigathi Gachagua caused a buzz on social media and political circles after photos of him boarding a KQ flight to Mombasa were shared online.
Gachagua, who was headed to Mombasa for the International Scientific Conference slated for Wednesday, was even carrying his suitcase, raising questions about the whereabouts of his aides.
Several UDA MPs have commented on the matter with Kikuyu MP and National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah accusing the second in command of blackmail by seeking sympathy.
“Neither President @WilliamsRuto nor the Government of Kenya or Members of Parliament will succumb to BLACKMAIL.
No amount of sympathy seeking photos, vernacular stations campaigns, social media blogging troops will handover billions to satisfy anyone’s INSATIABLE GREED for POWER & MONEY,” he wrote on X.
Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi on the other hand said, “Just know you are doomed. It is better to be advised by a class 2 child.f you find yourself depending on @ngunjiriwambugu as your advisor, then just know you are doomed. It is better to be advised by a class 2 child.”
His Kimilili counterpart Didmus Barasa was also not left behind.
“Huyu a first commercial flight paid for by taxpayers and escorted in new high-end landcruisers to the airside, is craving for sympathy. Bure kabisa! NO BLACKMAIL,” Barasa wrote on X.
