He said that he will agree to return home if a group of MPs Kenya First that wants to remove him will succeed.
“If I am told to continue working, I am ready; if I am told to go home, I am also ready,” he said.
What did Gachagua tell the people of Mount Kenya?
Gachagua appealed to the residents of the Mlima area Kenya remain united and do not allow anyone to divide them, explaining that division will bring great challenges.
“My request to the people of Mount Kenya is to remain united. I don't have to lead them; any leader can lead them. However, in order to thrive and maintain presence in the government for years to come, you must remain united,” added Gachagua.
The grieving leader claimed that the only reason some Kenya First MPs are seeking to remove him is his frequent calls to encourage unity within the mountainous region.
He emphasized that without unity, the region will lose its strength, influence, and power, a situation that will lead to a halt in economic and political development.
“If I am removed, it will open the way to divide them, and the people of Mt. Kenya will face a big problem because that is what they want and the reason why they want me to be charged. I ask you to stay together because if they succeed, they will have fulfilled their plan to divide this area, leaving us powerless , influence, or power. Our politics and our development will stop. Even if another leader comes, don't let Mlima Kenya be divided.” he said.
Why has Gachagua been fighting for the unity of Mount Kenya?
During a conversation with journalists from Mount Kenya East on Sunday, September 30, Gachagua explained that his main concern is to encourage the unity of the region.
The deputy president emphasized his desire to see the mountain region come together to achieve social, economic, and political benefits while maintaining a presence in the government.
He noted that his commitment to unity is influenced by his experience during the era of the late former president Daniel Moi.
