 Gachagua hits Kirinyaga, claims Waiguru paid women to protest against him


Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua returned to Kirinyaga County on Tuesday and launched a strong attack on Governor Anne Waiguru, accusing her of employing a few women to stage protests against him.

Gachagua alleged that Waiguru orchestrated demonstrations by women to silence him, citing remarks he had made. “Waiguru arranged for a few women to shout at me after I spoke the truth. She must go,” he said in Ngurubani, amid applause.

He vowed to unmask leaders from Mt. Kenya whom he accused of collaborating with President William Ruto to sow division in the region. “When I turned the spotlight on her, she got angry. Any leader here working with Ruto is an enemy of Mt. Kenya,” he added.

Gachagua singled out Waiguru and allied local leaders as traitors unfit to lead. He criticized her use of women in protests, claiming she only mobilized them when he accused her of betrayal—not when national issues, like affordable rice, arose. “When cheap rice was being imported, she didn’t organize protests. But when I called her a betrayer, she sent women to the streets. It’s regrettable,” he said.

He also urged Kirinyaga residents to vote out MPs seen as aligned with Ruto, including Mary Maingi (Mwea), Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu), and George Kariuki (Ndia). Senator Kamau Murango joined Gachagua in condemning the use of women in demonstrations. “Waiguru is misusing women of Kirinyaga. She should stop immediately,” he said.

Earlier, hundreds of women in Kutus protested, condemning Gachagua’s insults toward Waiguru. They held placards, blocked parts of the Kutus–Embu highway, set tyres ablaze, and caused heavy traffic. Police in plain clothes monitored the march from a distance without intervening.

While they don’t fly like birds, they can glide impressively through the air . Curious? Let’s dive into five fascinating facts about these ocean wonders. 1. Yes, Flying Fish Can Glide Through the Air Flying fish don’t actually “fly” in the traditional sense. Instead, they glide above the ocean to escape predators like tuna or dolphins.
