Ichung’wah Throws Another Jab at Gachagua Moments After DP Gachagua Answers Him.
Ichung’wah Throws Another Jab at Gachagua Moments After DP Gachagua Answers Him: National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah on Wednesday took a swipe at Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over the latter’s campaign seeking to unite Mt Kenya.
Ichung’wah while insisting on the matter, underscored the need for national unity regardless of voting patterns recorded in national elections.
According to Ichung’wah, the Deputy President’s One man, One Vote, One Shilling campaign is retrogressive and has the potential of alienating the Mt Kenya region from the rest of the country.
“Development is the entire nation’s right, regardless of voting patterns in general elections,” Ichung’wah noted.
“It is retrogressive and undemocratic to claim that other regions do not deserve development. This approach sets one region against the rest of the nation,” he added.
Ichung’wah’s sentiments come hours after DP Gachagua reiterated over alleged claims of being called a villager.
The DP while addressing a delegation of health officials in Mombasa, said he was perplexed after a lawmaker termed him a villager.
While dismissing the remarks, Gachagua urged Kenyans to be proud of their roots and that no one should make them feel embarrassed.
DP Gachagua stated,”You know, every person has somewhere they came from and everyone has a home. I do not know why anybody would have a problem with where we all come from.”
