Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been vocal in pushing for the completion of stalled development projects, such as the Mau Mau road, which is crucial for the region’s economic progress. Mt. Kenya residents are worried that undermining his efforts could delay or halt these critical projects that benefit the community.

Gachagua has consistently called for the elimination of cartels in the coffee, tea, and dairy sectors to ensure better returns for farmers. This fight against entrenched cartels directly addresses the economic concerns of Mt. Kenya’s agricultural sector, and residents fear his sidelining will weaken these efforts.

By advocating for reforms in cooperatives, Gachagua has been seeking to improve governance and eliminate corruption, ensuring that local farmers and small-scale traders benefit. The region is concerned that sidelining him could result in continued mismanagement and corruption, hurting their economic interests.

Gachagua’s campaign to eliminate illicit brews is seen as crucial to safeguarding the future of the region’s youth. His sidelining raises concerns that this fight may lose momentum, leaving the region vulnerable to the negative impacts of illegal alcohol production and consumption.

Gachagua has consistently called for unity within the Mt. Kenya region, ensuring that it speaks with one voice on matters of resource allocation and national advocacy. Residents feel that efforts to undermine him are attempts to divide the region, which could weaken their influence in national politics and lead to unequal resource distribution.
