Martha Karua lauds DP Rigathi Gachagua for apologizing to Former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta following a smear campaign against the family.
Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua has responded to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua following his public apology to former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
Karua lauded Gachagua indicating that the apology was a positive step towards mending the broken relationship with the family of the former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
However, Karua who has been a great critic of the Kenya Kwanza administration, pointed out that the apology was not sufficient.
She insisted that Gachagua’s expression of regret lacked the requisite ingredients required to mend fences, especially after offending someone close to the status of a mother.
In her statement, Karua implied that Gachagua could have done more than just a mere TV apology in his bid to extend an olive branch to Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
“A step in the right direction but falls short of the required “thinjo” to fully atone when you offend, nay insult your mother or elders,” Karua wrote.

DP Gachagua asks Mama Ngina Kenyatta for forgiveness
Her sentiments came after Gachagua sought to end rivalry with the former first family following the 2022 campaign period when Kenya Kwanza ran a smear campaign against them.
DP Gachagua asked Mama Ngina Kenyatta to accept their apologies for the disrespectful words hurled at them during that period.
“I am sorry for involving Mama Ngina Kenyatta in the last general elections politics. She is our mother. I therefore ask for forgiveness on behalf of our team for any inconvenience caused to her. I will never allow anyone to demean her or anyone from the region,” said Gachagua.
He also appealed to Mt Kenya leaders to drop insulting former President Uhuru Kenyatta. He rallied the region to foster unity to promote inclusive development.
