Rigathi Gachagua wants to replace performing leaders like Irungu Kang’ata with loyal allies, showing that political alignment matters more to him than proven service delivery to the people.
He wants to control elective positions across MCAs, MPs, senators, and governors by ensuring only his supporters get elected, effectively building a personal political machine rather than supporting independent leadership.
He wants to use these loyal leaders as a bargaining tool after elections, turning public offices into numbers he can rely on to negotiate power and influence at the national level.
He wants to reorganize leadership even if it disrupts ongoing development, meaning projects in areas like Murang’a County can be affected simply because leaders are not aligned to him.
He wants politics to focus on winning and dominance rather than service delivery, shifting attention away from real issues affecting citizens such as jobs, healthcare, and economic growth.
He wants to centralize political influence around himself, creating a system where decisions and direction depend on his authority instead of being driven by the needs and interests of the people.
