A political storm is brewing in Mt. Kenya as Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba lifts the lid on the deep-rooted tensions between President William Ruto and the region. While the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua sent shockwaves through the political landscape, Wamuchomba reveals that the frustration with Ruto goes far beyond that single event.
In a bombshell interview on March 24, 2025, she exposed the growing discontent, stating, “Mt. Kenya is fed up with Ruto, and he knows it. Even if Gachagua were still in office, the people would still be furious.”
BETRAYED BY RUTO?
According to Wamuchomba, economic hardships, broken promises, and oppressive tax policies have left Mt. Kenya residents feeling abandoned. Despite delivering a massive 47% of votes to Ruto in 2022, the region feels shortchanged.
“Farmers, business owners—everyone is struggling. The government’s policies are suffocating us. The way Ruto has handled things is nothing short of betrayal,” she stated bluntly.
GACHAGUA IMPEACHMENT—A GAME CHANGER?
Wamuchomba, who opposed Gachagua’s removal, clarified that it wasn’t about loyalty but about standing with her people. She admitted Gachagua had his flaws but argued that his impeachment only made matters worse.
“I defended him because he was our representative, not because he was perfect. Now that he’s out, he has learned the hard way. If he were reinstated, he would lead differently,” she remarked.
RUTO WARNED AHEAD OF VISIT—”DON’T MENTION GACHAGUA!”
As the president prepares for a visit to Mt. Kenya, leaders are sounding the alarm. Kitui Central MP Makali Mulu declared that if Ruto hopes to regain trust, he must deliver real results—not just empty promises.
“People backed him in 2022. Now, they want payback. He needs to show up with serious incentives, or he risks a full-blown fallout,” Mulu cautioned.
Gatanga MP Edward Muriu went a step further, warning Ruto to tread carefully.
“Your Excellency, when you come here, do not mention Gachagua. The wounds are too fresh. And don’t talk about Raila—you’ll only make things worse,” Muriu advised.
With tensions reaching a boiling point, Ruto’s next move could determine whether Mt. Kenya remains in his corner or turns against him in 2027.
