The political alliance between President William Ruto and his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua is showing signs of strain. Githunguri MP Hon Gathoni Wamuchomba has openly criticized the alleged involvement of Raila Odinga, popularly known as ‘Baba’, in the government. This comes after the NADCO Report was officially presented to both Odinga and President Ruto, signaling the start of a new constitutional amendment process.
Wamuchomba’s discontent was made public through a tweet stating, “It’s now clearer, Baba is in Government (through the back door); it should now be called the NADCO Government. What happened to our Guaranteed minimum returns (GMR) and One man one shilling one Vote-quest from Mt Kenya people? Mimi bado nimekwamia hapa.” Her statement reflects the concerns of the Mt Kenya region regarding the promises made to them.
The MP’s opposition to the handshake between Ruto and Odinga raises questions about the unity and future direction of the ruling camp. There are growing concerns that Deputy President Gachagua could be marginalized, which might also impact the influence of the Mt Kenya region in the government.
The situation is developing, and political analysts are closely monitoring the implications of Wamuchomba’s stance. The potential for another constitutional amendment process adds to the complexity of the political landscape, with the possibility of reshaping the government’s structure and policies.
As the story unfolds, the nation watches with bated breath to see how this political drama will affect the stability of the current administration and the promises made to its constituents.
