UDA Secretary General, Hassan Omar, criticized Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for allegedly engaging in tribal politics.
He also accused him of undermining President William Ruto’s efforts to unite the Mt Kenya region.
Omar accused Gachagua of rallying his village mates against Ruto’s government.
He stated that Gachagua should support the broader unity initiatives led by the President.
He emphasized that Gachagua was selected, not elected, as Deputy President based on the region’s agreement to support Ruto.
Omar highlighted that Gachagua’s actions were seen as an overreach of authority. He reminded him that he was not Ruto’s co-president but the principal assistant to the President.
He urged Gachagua to understand his role within the constitutional framework. He should focus on supporting Ruto rather than pursuing divisive tribal agendas.
The statement from UDA’s Secretary General reflects tensions within the political landscape. This involves unity efforts and the role of elected officials.
UDA’s Hassan Omar criticizes Deputy President Gachagua. This sheds light on the complexities of political dynamics in Kenya. It is particularly within the context of tribal affiliations and unity initiatives.
The exchange underscores the importance of upholding constitutional roles and responsibilities while working towards national cohesion and development.
Omar’s remarks call for elected leaders to prioritize national interests. They should put these ahead of narrow tribal considerations for the greater good of the country.
