In a statement directed at Sudi after his utterances on Sunday, Hillary Barchok said that Rift Valley leaders out to respect the Deputy President and use reapectable channels to address any disagreements within the party.
“We are not going to allow few people to bring shame to our government. DP Gachagua must be respected. If there are things he has said that you don’t agree with, there is a respectable way to address them without standing on a podium to talk about it. Rift Valley leaders should be the last people to destabilise the government.”
This comes after Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi told off Deputy President and warned him against threatening and harassing him over his activities across the country including the Mt Kenya region.
“Everyone contributed to the Kenya Kwanza Government. Let’s respect each other. We ask the President and his deputy to respect us. We can’t allow them to come and harass small leaders.”
“You should stop threats. You should not threaten me because I have done so many things. Let’s respect each other,” said Sudi directing his sentiments to DP Gachagua.
Gachagua has however insisted that Rift Valley leaders with proximity to President Ruto should stop meddling with Mt Kenya politics and ill advising president Ruto over the 2027 polls.

“There are politicians from Rift Valley who have partnered with others in the Mt Kenya region and have decided to plan 2027 politics. Why do you want to succeed the president while he is still alive.”
