Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has said the leadership of Mt Kenya will not allow a few individuals to sow a rift between President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a church service in Endarasha, Nyeri county on Sunday said bad blood between the two leaders will not be detrimental, not just for Mt Kenya but the entire country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not allow it to happen. We will not allow our son (Rigathi) to be humiliated.” There are people who just want to ruin this government,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He said Ruto was humiliated and disrespected in the last administration when he was Deputy President yet he still supported the Mt Kenya community.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuto was disrespected and humiliated so much though as a community, he stood with us. We will not allow our son to go through that,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He said the Limuru III meeting on Friday was convened and attended by self-seekers.<\/p>\n

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta appeared to have made a comeback in the political sphere after the meeting named him as the leader of the Haki Coalition that they unveiled.<\/p>\n

During the Limuru III meeting, leaders resolved to retain Uhuru as the region\u2019s kingpin to chart a way forward ahead of the 2027 General Elections.<\/p>\n

They called on Gachagua and Uhuru to convene a meeting and agree on the region\u2019s direction of the elections.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Kahiga said any disrespect to Gachagua would be seen as contempt to the Mt Kenya community.<\/p>\n

Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga said there is a deliberate effort to cause a wedge between the President and his deputy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is only one and a half years since we held elections. We will not allow people to cause bad blood between the President and his deputy,\u201d Wamatinga added.<\/p>\n

Nandi senator Samson Cherargei said Rigathi is not a leader of the Mt Kenya region alone but the entire country.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is not a village elder or a leader in Mt Kenya. He is the Deputy President of Kenya,\u201d Charargei said.<\/p>\n
