Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has hailed her husband Rigathi Gachagua as a strong and bold man who speaks the truth all the time.
Speaking during a church service at AIPCA Antubetwe Kiongo Church, Igembe North, Meru County, Dorcas said the country is headed the wrong direction due to lack of truth.
“I’m very happy to have a man who is strong, who is bold (and) who can be able to speak the truth regardless because if we do not say the truth some things will derail. That is why our country cannot prosper because there is no truth,” she stated.
Speaking during the same event, Gachagua accused President William Ruto and the government of betraying the people of Mt Kenya, by trying to remove them from key government positions.
Gachagua accused Ruto of plotting to oust Chief Justice Martha Koome and other notable fugures from the Mt Kenya region from government.
“These Meru people have been taken for granted for too long. It must come to an end. Rais amepanga kufukuza Chief Justice Martha Koome. Ameanza na Rigathi Gachagua, amemfukuza. Akarudi akafukuza Mithika Linturi. Sasa amepanga njama ya kumfukuza Martha Koome. Amepanga pale kortini, anahonga watu kufukuza Koome,” Gachagua said.
“Anataka akifukuza hawa watu amalize biashara zote za watu wa Mlima Kenya. Lakini mimi nakwambia rais, ukifukuza Martha Koome, usikanyage hapa Meru. Ulifukuza Rigathi Gachagua watu wa Mlima wakanyamaza, ukafikiria ni waoga. Tunakwambia rais; wewe panga njama ufukuze Martha Koome na wewe ukae Nairobi usikanyage hapa Meru tena!”
Demonstrations
Gachagua says he will lead demonstrations against the government in Meru in case the chief justice is removed from office prematurely.
“Huyu mama akifukuzwa, nipige firimbi mtoke kwa barabara. Mtatoka hamtatoka? We are not going to sit again as William Ruto destroys the leadership of the Mt Kenya region. It is too much. Pahali huyu rais ametufikisha sasa, it is too much.
Gachagua has also called upon the Meru residents to reject leaders and politicians who have sided with President William Ruto in the 2027 General Elections.
