DP Rigathi Gachagua reveals receiving threats to end his political career from influential Mt Kenya leaders.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has disclosed that he has received threats to end his political career from powerful politicians and businesses in the Mount Kenya region.
Speaking at his home in Karen, where he was hosting officials from Nyandarua County, the Second in Command disclosed that he had received threats because of his unwavering commitment to combating illicit brewing in the area.
Gachagua reported that several influential figures had vowed to work with some of the customers to plan his downfall from politics.
Gachagua, nevertheless, made it clear that he would rather go home than lead a drunken region.
“Many people are trying to sell me fear that these people who drink and the ones who sell are very active politically and that my political life can come to an end,” he stated.
“I know you are being threatened the same way. What we are saying is, if by enacting laws to protect the next generation from extinction would bring our political career to an end so be it,” Gachagua insisted.

He added, “I don’t think there is any need for any leader to lead a drunken population. I don’t think there is any pride for me to be Deputy President and everywhere I go people are staggering and sleeping in ditches.”
DP Gachagua promised to carry out the duties that President William Ruto set him, in spite of intimidation and coercion from certain parties.
He further vowed to support Nyandarua County following the enactment of the County Alcoholic Drinks Act, 2023 to rid the county, the region, and the country of the poisonous drinks.
“The leaders have displayed an immense interest and determination in true service to the people by enacting a people-centered law against the manufacture, distribution, and sale of illicit brews,” Gachagua stated.
“The new law is an outcome of the collective effort between the national and county leadership. We look forward to intensifying these efforts for the enactment of similar laws in the region and across the country.”
