Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i has castigated the attack of the former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua in a church in Nairobi.
Matiang’i, also the Jubilee Party Deputy Leader said it was ironic that tear gas canisters were lobbied in a church in a country where there is a rule of law calling for action against those responsible.
Speaking at St Peter Cathedral Kenol, he said, in 2027 will seek the presidential votes candidature, eying to fix the country and ensure the rule of the law prevails.
He warned that the poor leadership was the reason teargas was lobbied in a place of worship, targeting Ragathi Gachagua and other faithful.
He asked Kenya to remain vigilant and ensure they maintain peace eying for the future.
“Had warned of increased money laundering and dirty politics that will drain the country, thus the need for the right direction,” said Matiang’i adding that he was working with all leaders towards focusing on achieving peace and national cohesion.
He said he was working with all leaders to assist the growth of the country to the expectation of all.
Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu castigated the brutal attack at PCEA church in Kariobangi in Nairobi targeting former Rigathi Gachagua.
“ It is sad that somebody is pulling strings to fund attacks on each other in the Mt Kenya region,” said Nyutu adding that in Mbeere North electoral malpractice was witnessed.
He pleaded with the former President Uhiuru Kenyatta to invite Rigathi Gachagua and initiate unity strategies joined by Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya and Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
“ The pact will take the country to greater heights and ensure the democratic space enjoyed by all Kenyas,” said Nyutu.
In the church function, Sports Principal Secretary Elijah Mwangi was heckled as he outlined government development programmes in Murang’a.
The state official was heckled by christians as he outlined some of the government development programmes that included the Makeji Affordable Housing Programme, National stadium in Murang’a town, and Mukerenju sports academy.
The PS stood firm and continued outlining the projects, as the heckling increased.
Bishop Karanu warned the christians against the continued heckling of leaders in the church compound.
“ Stopheckling other people as the church is a sacred place where all the people are invited for the purpose of workshop, thus we need to be respectful,” said Karanu.
Also present were Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, MP Sabina Chege, former MPs Kembi Gitura, Joshua Toro, Elias Mbau, Peter Kimari and Njathi Mwenga.
