- Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has once again found grace with the mountain as residents of Mwea, Kirinyaga county, recently welcomed him in song and dance in what’s evidently a game of aggressor turned victim.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has once again found grace with the mountain as residents of Mwea, Kirinyaga county, recently welcomed him in song and dance in what’s evidently a game of aggressor turned victim.
Gachagua was attending the burial of the former Principal Kianyaga highschool, Mwalimu Julius Kano Ndumbi in Gichugu, when he made a stop to address residents. Singing to the tune of ‘Mutongoria witu’ (Our Leader), residents put on a show at Ngurubani, threatening anyone with intent to intimidate ‘their son’.
This, coming as the president is out of the country, is a testament that when the cat is away, the mouse will surely play. In what can only be termed as a repeat of Uhuru-Ruto breakup drama, a section of Mt Kenya leaders have been pushing the narrative that President Ruto is sidelining Gachagua.
As seen in recent events, among them Gachagua’s one-week MIA (Missing in Action) drama and his recent proposition and support of the One Man, One Vote, One Shilling Formula, a keen observer can tell all is not well at the house on the hill. Gachagua, who has previously denied comment on the breakup rumours is now seeking Uhuru, Limuru 3’s proclaimed Mt. Kenya Kingpin in a ‘come let’s reason together' fashion.
In what seems like a plot to distance himself from the unforgiving regime, as a faction of Mt Kenya leaders have called it, Gachagua is now using the mountain as a pedigree to fall back on.

The question is: has the mountain always been there, or is it divided more than ever?
