Ichung’wah Breaks Silence on Kindiki’s Planned Swearing In, Throws Jab at Gachagua
Speaking at the funeral of Tharaka MP Gitonga Murugara’s mother, Ichung’wah told Tharaka Nithi residents that he had travelled to the county more times than any other county in Kenya, including his very own Kiambu county, mostly because he had very many allies in the county.
“Your former senator who has been our Interior Cabinet Secretary and is now our Deputy President of Kenya, Professor Kithure Kindiki is not just a friend, he is my brother,” Ichung’wah said.
“I am confident that even those who serve us in the country within the judiciary will do what is right for Kenya and I am confident in due course we shall be swearing in our deputy president, the desire of the people of Kenya to be able to move on together as one united country, a deputy president who will serve all the people of Kenya not just the people of Tharaka Nithi or the mountain region,” he added.
He went further to state that he had spent the night at Kindiki’s home just two Sundays before where they had held discussions and prayed heavily for Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse
“And because we are children of God, when we prayed God heard us. I want to assure you, people of Tharaka Nithi, we are in a good place because those of us who voted in parliament, I want to tell you over time, time will vindicate us, that we did what we had to do for our love for a united nation,” Ichung’wa said.
Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse who was inattendance stated,”Even strength must give way to wisdom. So if you see that man, let him know that no matter how tough he feels, he must give way to wisdom because Kenya is a democracy founded on a constitutional order that we bestowed on ourselves in 2010, and in our democracy numbers matter,” Mutuse said, referring to the 282 against 44 MPs and 53 against 13 senators who he said voted for change.
