UDA MP Accuses DP Gachagua Of Asking Him To Fight President Ruto

Mathira Member of Parliament Eric Wamumbi has opened up on his fallout with Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

In a statement on Wednesday, August 7, Wamumbi claimed that DP Gachagua asked him to fight President William Ruto and to start looking for allies ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The UDA MP noted that he told Gachagua that the move was wrong and asked him to support the Ruto government until 2032.

“You were told to insult the former president, and you did it, you even insulted his mother. You told me we fight the sitting president, and we start looking for friends we form ours in 2027.

“I told you it is not right, I told you the right thing is to support the government and work for our people first until 2032. I told you the urgent thing is to finish all the stalled projects. Who did the right thing?” Wamumbi posed.

The first-term MP’s allegations come weeks after he revealed that there was a rift between him and DP Gachagua.

MP Wamumbi pointed out that their fallout was not about the re-opening of closed bars in Karatina town.

“It is true, There is a Rift between the Deputy president and I. The rift is not about the closed bars in Karatina town which have left the town dead for four months. It is about something bigger than that, he should say the truth and nothing but the truth. I will be telling the truth, and the people of Mathira will pick which side to believe in,” Wamumbi said on July 7.
