Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua fired back at former Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria following Kuria’s claims that the state would buy off any Member of Parliament (MP) elected under the Democracy for Citizens (DCP) party.
While attending the burial of Kiambu Senator Karungo Thangwa’s mother on Monday, March 16, 2026, the DCP leader first acknowledged Kuria’s prediction that the party might win several seats in the Mount Kenya region.
He then criticized Kuria, labeling him a traitor to the region. Gachagua argued that no one would be available to bribe DCP lawmakers because he believes the current administration – the potential buyers – will have already lost power.
“Msaliti anatoka Gatundu South anasema ati wabunge wa DCP wakichaguliwa, Kasongo atawanunua. Nataka nimuambie kasongo hatawanunua sababu atakuwa Sugoi,” Gachagua said.
Gachagua also promised a difficult period ahead for President William Ruto, vowing that a unified opposition will relentlessly challenge him until he leaves office.
The Democracy for Citizens (DCP) leader declared that the newly united alternative government will keep President Ruto on his toes for the next 15 months, aiming to end his presidency. Gachagua claimed that recent opposition pressure has already rattled the Head of State, leaving him with few choices.
Gachagua pledged that their coalition will maintain its scrutiny of the president to ensure the administration addresses its failures. Additionally, he reassured Kenyans that the opposition will continue to speak out against any attempts to exploit public resources.
“Kazi yetu going forward ni kukasirisha Ruto; we will make sure that William Ruto is not going to sleep for the next 15 months; he will only sleep after we remove him from power.”
