Don’t dare step in Meru if you oust Martha Koome; Gachagua warns Ruto
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has warned President William Ruto over alleged plans to kick Chief Justice Martha Koome out of office
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has warned President William Ruto over alleged plans to kick Chief Justice Martha Koome out of office.
Speaking during a church service on Sunday, February 23, Gachagua said Ruto should not set foot in Meru if the alleged plan goes through.
“If you chase our Martha Koome, don’t set foot in Meru. You chased Rigathi Gachagua, and the Mt. Kenya people were silent, you thought they were cowards,” he said.
Additionally, Gachagua promised to call for protests if the plan is hatched, accusing Ruto of destroying the leadership of the Mt. Kenya Region.
“This is too much now. How do you purge the leadership of an entire community that made you president? If Koome is dismissed and I call for protests, will you come out? We are not going to sit again as Ruto destroys the leadership of Mount Kenya,” he added.
Gachagua accused Ruto of orchestrating a scheme to remove her from office, claiming that she is being targeted for refusing to be subservient.
“He started by kicking me out of his government, and he also did the same to Mithika Linturi. She is being fought because she has refused to be a ‘yes sir’ person,” he stated.

Gachagua initially revealed plans to oust Koome during an interview on Sunday, February 9.
“Our young people have told me that I was wrong to say they should keep quiet after my impeachment. They told me that moving forward, they will talk in the language Ruto understands – and I agree with them. We know there is a plan to hound Martha Koome out of office, the young people have told me they will put the country on a standstill,” he said.
Gachagua also spoke of alarming threats to his own safety, claiming that plans had been set to have him arrested and poisoned.
“They have also been planning to arrest and poison me, our people have told me – and I agree with them that hell will break loose,” he warned.
