Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has cautioned MPs from the Mt Kenya region against underestimating Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
In a statement on Monday, September 16, Amisi said the Mt Kenya MPs are making the Deputy President popular by making him a subject of rallies.
The ODM MP warned that DP Gachagua will send the Mt Kenya MPs home in 2027 if they don’t manage to impeach him.
“Central MPs caucus is making Gachagua popular for free, and for no apparent reason, by making him a subject of rallies every day. If you don't impeach Gachagua now, he will impeach all of you in 2027 without mercy. Never wrestle with a pig in the mud, you will get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.
“There is a lot to talk about in this country on living conditions of citizens, not every day Gachagua, this is how Ruto was made popular in the same region. Kenya needs a Renaissance,” said Amisi.

His warning comes after 48 MPs from the Mt Kenya region and the diaspora endorsed Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki to be their kingpin.
In a meeting held on Thursday, September 12 in Nyahururu, Laikipia County, the MPs said there was a need to have a link that would create a nexus with the Executive on matters of development.
“We as the elected leaders from this region and its Diaspora on our own behalf and that of our people, unanimously resolve that our link to the National Government be the Cabinet Secretary for the Interior and National Administration Prof. Kithure Kindiki, whose responsibilities include the coordination of National Government functions across Country,” the MPs stated.
On Sunday DP Gachagua called on Mt Kenya leaders to stop high-octane politics and focus on their respective duties in development.
Speaking in Kirinyaga County, Gachagua urged leaders to focus on the development agenda. The Deputy President noted that voters would decide their leaders in the next election.
"Let us reduce high-octane politics in the Mt Kenya Region. The other regions are calm and not focusing on politics. The voters will decide in the next election cycle. Let us also be kind and of good deeds all the time and work on the development,” he remarked.
