Rigathi Gachagua calls on Kawira Mwangaza to join the opposition
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now wants former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza to consider joining forces with the opposition.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now wants former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza to consider joining forces with the opposition.
Mwangaza was impeached last year.
She challenged the ouster, which was approved by the Senate, in the High Court, which threw her petition out earlier this year.
She was replaced by her deputy, Isaac Mutuma.
Speaking in a media interview in Meru on Friday, June 20, Gachagua said Mwangaza needed partnership with like-minded people to revive her political career.
He counselled her against taking too much time to lament but to get back on track and chart her path with the help of colleague politicians.

“I used to talk to Kawira Mwangaza when I was still in office, when she was facing the challenges with the MCAs. Now I can only give her a shoulder to cry on. Ever since I was impeached, I have been crying foul more than her. But I decided to come out to face off with Ruto. I am asking her not to walk alone; she will go nowhere. Buffalos don’t move together in herds because they love one another but because of the danger of walking alone,” Gachagua said.
At the same time, the former deputy president took a swipe at his successor, Kithure Kindiki, for allegedly frustrating Mwangaza.
He observed that the former governor’s meetings were being sabotaged by Kindiki and his faction in favour of the current county boss.
The Meru governorship has attracted interest in the next elections, with political bigwigs from the region eyeing the seat.
One-time governor Peter Munya, former Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi, and Senator Kathuri Murungi are among the candidates who have already declared their interests.
