Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has issued a thunderous warning to the Mt. Kenya region: Abandon President Ruto at your own peril!
Speaking with sharp urgency at the AIPCA church in Othaya, Nyeri, Mudavadi—standing in for President William Ruto—delivered a speech that sounded more like an ultimatum than a sermon.
“If you let this opportunity slip, we will take it! You’ve got the bird in hand—don’t go chasing shadows!” he thundered.
He openly cautioned that any political shift away from Ruto would come with a crippling price tag—lost development deals, vanished government appointments, and a fast-track to irrelevance.
While lavishing praise on Mt. Kenya’s past loyalty to the current administration, Mudavadi didn’t mince words: the region risks throwing away its golden ticket if it continues flirting with rebellion. He painted the Kenya Kwanza government as Mt. Kenya’s lifeline and hinted that others are salivating for what the mountain is squandering.
“There are Kenyans who would kill for a slice of what you’ve got. You have power. You have the President’s trust. Are you really about to burn that down?”
And then came the real sting: Mudavadi invoked Western Kenya’s loyalty to the nation despite never producing a President, challenging Mt. Kenya to prove its patriotism beyond tribal politics.

“We’ve never had a President, yet we thrive, serve, and sacrifice. Don’t tell us national unity only matters when your own is in power.”
But even as Mudavadi fired warning shots, a political rebellion was already erupting in the backyard he was trying to pacify.
At the Wamunyoro gathering, prominent Mt. Kenya politicians gathered in defiance, launching a direct assault on the Kenya Kwanza administration. The message? Ruto will be a one-term President.
Nyandarua Senator John Methu didn’t hold back, laying down a gauntlet:
“If you want to talk to Mt. Kenya, you must go through Rigathi Gachagua. He’s our political gateway. Disrespect him, and you disrespect the entire region.”
Speaker James Gichuhi and MP John Kaguchia echoed the call for unity behind Gachagua, branding him as the true custodian of Mt. Kenya’s destiny. Kaguchia, in a bold defense of Gachagua’s alliance with opposition leaders, framed it not as tribal maneuvering—but as a revolution grounded in national salvation.
“This is not about tribes. It’s about rescuing Kenya. Kalonzo, Karua, Wamalwa—they’re not just allies, they’re co-architects of a new vision.”
Tetu MP Wandeto and Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu went even further. Wandeto revealed that only two MPs in Nyeri resisted the movement to oust Gachagua, vowing never to betray “their own.” Meanwhile, Nyutu unleashed a brutal punchline:
“Even the Pope’s candle couldn’t light for Ruto in the Vatican! Do you need a bigger sign that his time is up?”
As 2027 looms closer, what began as whispers of discontent in the mountain has turned into a political earthquake. Mt. Kenya stands at a crossroads—and as Mudavadi’s chilling warning and the fiery rebellion at Wamunyoro show, the stakes have never been higher.
