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

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has decisively ruled out any possibility of reconciliation with the political figures who were behind his impeachment, stressing that betrayal is an unforgivable act in his community. 

During a church service in Nyeri on December 15, 2024, Gachagua made it clear that he would not mend fences with those who contributed to his ouster. 

His remarks came as political speculation continued over the possibility of reconciliations within the Mount Kenya region, particularly after President William Ruto’s recent meetings with his former allies, including Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta.

Gachagua, while acknowledging the personal and political hurt caused by his impeachment, declared that betrayal in his community is considered a grave offense—one that cannot be remedied. 

“Once you do it, there is no remedy. The matter is closed,” Gachagua firmly stated. 

His comments reflect the deep sense of betrayal he feels, especially in light of the political shifts that have taken place in Kenya over the past year. 

He made it clear that although the region has faced humiliation, the political movement in Mount Kenya would not back down. 

“The mountain has moved on, though in humiliation and shame. But there is no remedy,” he said, signaling his resolve to move forward despite the challenges.

This latest declaration comes in the wake of growing political tension in the Mount Kenya region. 

Political analysts have pointed out that the recent reconciliation between President Ruto and his former allies could further complicate Gachagua’s standing within the region. 

However, Gachagua’s words leave little room for speculation about a possible political reunion with those he deems responsible for his impeachment.

Gachagua also used the platform to address other matters, including the recent attack on him in Limuru. 

He expressed frustration over the lack of arrests in connection with the assault, criticizing the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, for failing to bring any suspects to justice. 

Furthermore, Gachagua raised concerns about a perceived political agenda against his allies, such as Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang’wa, who had been called in for questioning regarding the attack.

In support of Gachagua, Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga warned against any further betrayals in the region.
