A high-stakes meeting involving two cabinet secretaries, three principal secretaries, and 48 Members of Parliament from the Mt. Kenya region has reportedly taken place at Crown Palace Hotel, Nairobi. The meeting, which has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, was centered on how to counter Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s growing influence in the region, according to sources from the Bombshell Intelligence Desk (BID).
The Strategy Meeting
According to reports, the attendees of the closed-door meeting discussed strategies aimed at neutralizing Gachagua’s political clout, which they see as a threat to their standing within the region. Among the key targets of their discussions were key allies of the Deputy President from Mt. Kenya, including governors and MPs. Prominent names such as Governor Mutahi Kahiga, Senators Karungo Wa Thangwa, Gakuya, and MP Wamuchomba were reportedly mentioned as individuals whose influence must be silenced.
Presidential Support
One MP in the meeting reportedly assured the group that they have the full backing of President William Ruto. The MP confidently expressed that the President supports their efforts to diminish Gachagua’s growing dominance and even gave them his blessing to proceed with potential impeachment plans. This revelation has further fueled speculation about growing divisions within the ruling Kenya Kwanza administration, especially between the President and his Deputy.
“The President is with us, and we have his full support. There is no need for hesitation when it comes to moving forward with the impeachment plans,” the MP is reported to have said.
Financial Backing
In what could be a major political bombshell, one of the cabinet secretaries attending the meeting is said to have assured the group of his full commitment to funding any initiative aimed at ensuring Gachagua is politically weakened or even impeached. This financial pledge, if true, signals a well-organized and potentially resource-heavy push against the Deputy President.
Warning of Gachagua’s Rising Influence
Concerns were raised during the meeting about Rigathi Gachagua’s growing popularity in Mt. Kenya. One MP is said to have expressed deep concern, warning that Gachagua is solidifying his base in the region. The MP cautioned that unless they act decisively and soon, Gachagua’s increasing dominance could jeopardize their political futures, especially with the 2027 general elections in mind.
“Gachagua is taking over the ground, and if we don’t do something now, we will lose our seats in 2027,” the MP reportedly warned the group.
Impeachment Plans in Motion?
The reports from this meeting highlight the rising tensions within the political hierarchy of Kenya Kwanza, with Gachagua’s position seemingly under serious threat from leaders within his own regional bloc. The confidence expressed by the attendees regarding the President’s backing, coupled with assurances of financial support, raises questions about how far these efforts will go.
As the situation develops, this revelation will likely lead to heightened scrutiny on the relationship between President William Ruto and his Deputy, Rigathi Gachagua. With impeachment now being openly discussed, it remains to be seen how these internal rifts will play out in the days and weeks ahead.
For now, the political stage in Kenya appears to be on the cusp of a major showdown, with Mt. Kenya leaders preparing to make their move against Gachagua’s growing influence.
