Justin Muturi Denies Links to Mt Kenya Political Formation, Dismisses Rumours

In recent months, tensions within Kenya's political landscape have been escalating, particularly between the former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and the Majority Leader in the National Assembly, Kimani Ichung'wah. 

The political rivalry came to the forefront after Gachagua allegedly collapsed in the Senate after being removed from government. 

Kimani Ichung’wah made a statement that the State House Administration (SHA) cleared the hospital bill of the former Deputy President after this incident, igniting further speculation about the ongoing conflict between the two leaders.

Ichung’wah, a vocal critic of Gachagua, has been outspoken about what he perceives as sabotage within the government. 

His comments shed light on the deepening divide between the two politicians, who once stood together in support of President William Ruto's government. 

Ichung’wah's criticism doesn’t stop at the collapse incident; he has also been involved in impeachment motions against Gachagua, citing his actions as harmful to the unity and effectiveness of the government.

In a press briefing, Ichung’wah explained that Gachagua's actions were detrimental to the government and needed to be addressed. 

He emphasized that the internal conflict was not just a personal issue but one that affected the larger political framework. 

The Majority Leader also made a point about the role of the State House Administration, claiming that the clearing of Gachagua’s hospital bill was indicative of the level of protection the Former Deputy President was receiving, despite his internal conflicts within the government.

The remarks by Ichung’wah have triggered a wave of reactions from across the political spectrum. 

Some view his comments as an attempt to weaken Gachagua’s political standing, while others believe they reflect the frustrations of many within the government who are dissatisfied with the Deputy President’s leadership.

It is clear that Kenya’s political scene is facing significant instability as members of President Ruto’s government turn on each other. 

The growing animosity between Gachagua and Ichung’wah is not just a personal issue but a manifestation of broader tensions within the ruling party. 

While the Gachagua continues to defend his position, the Majority Leader has made it clear that he will not back down in his pursuit of accountability.
