Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has once again launched another personal attack towards Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua hours after Gachagua’s response.
Speaking during a parliamentary session on Wednesday, Ichung’wah emphasised on the need of national unity trashing call by Gachagua for favouritism in Mt Kenya in his attack.

According to Ichung’wah, it’s time for Gachagua to accept that UDA won elections to work for all kenyans regardless of voting patterns recorded in national elections in a bid to create a united country.
Rubbishing Gachagua’s one man one vote one shilling campaign, the majority leader and president Ruto’s right hand man said that the government has a cardinal responsibility to distribute national resources equally to different parts of the nation.
Therefore, Ichung’wah noted that the 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 through divisive politics spread by Gachagua.
“Development is the entire nation’s right, regardless of voting patterns in general elections. 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.”
This came just hours after Deputy President took a swipe at Kimani Ichung’wah for calling him a villager and practicing village politics despite being a deputy president and a national leader for that matter.

Dismissing the village talk, Gachagua said that he is proud of his roots and that’s why he goes to the “ground” before making major decisions politically. He urged kenyans to shame anyone who wants to make them feel embarrassed of their roots.
