Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua accused Murang’a MCAs of betraying voters by visiting State House for handouts. The dispute centered on President William Ruto’s support in Mount Kenya. Government spokesman Isaac Mwaura said Ruto retained strong but quiet backing, crediting him with reviving the economy. ODM MP Caleb Amisi said leaders who took State House support were unlikely to oppose President Ruto in 2027.
