If the rumours are true — that Rigathi Gachagua wants 50% of government should the opposition win — then I hope it’s just propaganda planted by Ruto. Because if it’s not, we’re walking straight into the same mess we once complained about. Isn’t this the very thing Ruto accused Uhuru of? One man claiming half the government while the rest of Kenya — over 40 communities — scramble for what’s left?
Let’s be honest. Who exactly is this “shareholding” for? The people of Mt. Kenya, or Gachagua himself? This obsession with political shares is outdated, selfish, and dangerous. Are we really considering replacing Ruto’s government with another built on tribal stakes and personal entitlement?
Imagine a Gachagua-led government where he holds 50% of the power. Kalonzo, Matiang’i, Natembeya — all reduced to bystanders, forced to follow his line or risk political suffocation. That’s not leadership; that’s extortion politics disguised as partnership.
And mark my words: in 2027, Ruto might easily win over 65% of the vote — not because he’s done well, but because no one wants to empower Gachagua’s brand of politics. Many of us who don’t support Ruto still can’t stomach Gachagua’s transactional greed. He’s not fighting for justice or fairness — he’s fighting revenge after being pushed out of power.
We’ve seen what happens when Gachagua holds grudges. Remember the Northlands invasion? Now imagine that mindset in control of half a government. If we are to rebuild Kenya, it must be through fair governance and equity — not through per
