Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale attacks Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for allegedly meddling in Western politics
Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale attacks Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for allegedly meddling in Western politics.
Speaking on Monday at the nationwide tree-planting event in Kakamega, the senator warned the DP against meddling in the sugar industry, which is a major source of income for many people in the area.
Khalwale directed the DP to instead concentrate on issues impacting Mount Kenya, like as the coffee and tea industries, and to leave the sugar industry to Western area lawmakers.
“It seems the Deputy President is under some illusion that because he is the second in command, he has the license to meddle in local politics to neutralize senior politicians,” he remarked.
Khalwale warned Gachagua against using money to influence the political direction in various Kenyan regions.
The Kakamega Senator legislator further told off the Deputy President holding that he has more political experience than him owing to his years served as a lawmaker.

“I have four times his experience in politics and he must respect our community. We are not a small community but one that comprises about 7 million people,” he added.
Khalwale also bragged about having more academic qualifications than Gachagua.
He further informed DP Gachagua that he shouldn’t expect to succeed President William Ruto in 2032, since a politician from the Western region will be taking over the reins.
“Deputy president listen to me, whether you like it or not, when Ruto retires as President, a Luhya will take up the mantle,” Khalwale stated.
He also cautioned other senior leaders against manipulating local politics for their own gain.
