In recent developments within Kenya's political landscape, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has intensified his criticism of President William Ruto's administration, particularly focusing on alleged persecution of the Mt. Kenya community. Gachagua accused President Ruto of orchestrating an onslaught against his own ethnic group and undermining the influence he had established in Meru County during a previous visit. He claimed that Ruto planned a meeting to coordinate this persecution and expressed concerns about growing anger and frustration with Ruto's leadership. In response, Kenya Kwanza coalition leaders, including Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi, defended President Ruto's development agenda, emphasizing equitable distribution of projects nationwide and advocating for a two-term presidency. The coalition also accused opposition leaders of promoting tribalism and divisive politics, urging Kenyans to focus on development rather than ethnic divisions. These exchanges highlight ongoing tensions within Kenya's ruling coalition and between political factions ahead of future electoral contests.
