Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to convene a crisis meeting immediately to control Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah and Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi.
According to the DP, it’s unfortunate that two Kiambu leaders who are supposed to work together for the benefit of the people are fighting publicly due to their personal issues.

“It pains me alot to see leaders tearing each other apart. I appeal to the leaders to work together for the development of the county. Kiambu is important to President Ruto and I, it gave us a lot of votes in 2022.”
This came after the two leaders exchanged words with each other at the event attended by the Deputy President on Sunday, an action that didn’t sit well with the DP.
“I will convene a meeting to find a lasting solution to any squabbles. Please tone down on the high-octane politics.”
According to Ichung’wah, Kiambu county was only second to Nairobi in matters corruption pointing an accusation to the Governor Wamatangi for deep rooted corruption in the county.
“Some of the issues we are talking about have already been pointed out by the Auditor General that the counties of Kiambu and Nairobi are leading in matters misuse of public resources and that must come to an end.”
Responding to these accusations, Wamatangi claimed that the Auditor General reports on mismanagement contain information from past regimes and not particularly the current one.
“When the Auditor General publishes something, should we direct our questions to you? Your Excellency, let’s be truthful because the reports released by the Auditor General pertain to issues of past regimes. I am responding to matters concerning the governments of Nyoro (James), Waititu (Ferdinand), and Kabogo (William).”
