As days unfold, it is becoming increasingly apparent that something deeper is at play with ex Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. What began as political inconsistency now borders on a public unraveling, a man at war with his own words, his own image, and perhaps his own mind.
The DCP leader’s political theatre has become a one-man show, complete with arguments, rebuttals, and contradictions, all performed solo.
One day, he declares, “Ruto made me.” The next, he insists, “I made Ruto President.” By evening, the audience is left wondering who actually made whom. It’s a dizzying loop of self-contradiction that leaves even his supporters unsure which version of Gachagua to believe.
His relationship with the Mt. Kenya region is no less confusing. One moment, he’s sending delegations to State House to “eat,” giving directions like a tour guide. The next, he’s back on the podium, fuming that “those people are traitors.” Same trip. Same people. Different script.
Then there’s his on-and-off relationship with former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
One week, Uhuru is “retired” and politically irrelevant. The next, he’s suddenly the “undisputed kingpin” of Mt. Kenya. The inconsistency is so glaring that it raises the question: is Gachagua’s political compass broken, or is he simply spinning in circles?
Following Rigathi Gachagua’s political journey has become like watching a TV series with no storyline, every episode contradicts the last. There’s no continuity, no direction, just plot twists fighting each other for attention.
In a country where leadership demands clarity, consistency, and composure, Gachagua’s erratic public behavior is more than just political drama, it’s a national concern. Kenya deserves leaders who can lead with coherence, not confusion; with conviction, not contradiction.
The question now is not just what Gachagua stands for, but whether even he knows anymore.
