Mt. Kenya rebellion was triggered by Ruto's betrayal, could injure political campaigns - MP Gakuya

[00:00:00]I'd tell him that, uh, uh, as much as we have kingpins, these kingpins does not enslave their constituents or their constituencies.

[00:00:13]Because people has freedom to make choices.

[00:00:16]But, in what we call political game, political strategy, every single, uh, >> [clears throat] >> uh, political leader must find mechanisms on how to master the votes to go in a block in his own base.

[00:00:33]Otherwise, what are you doing?

[00:00:35]If you are a preacher who has no, uh, fellowship, you must be a preacher who preaches to, uh, congregation. And in this case, Gachagua is not out there to, uh, enslave the Mount Kenya region.

[00:00:49]Because they are still independent to make their decision. But, in terms of where we are heading, we are not forget that we are heading to an election, which is a general election. And as a central region, we have to have a stand.

[00:01:04]You cannot have a stand you have no king or you have no, uh, leader who can be able to speak to people and listen a direction that they want the people to take. And in this case, that's even what Ruto does. Before Ruto became the president, even the deputy, first and foremost, he made sure that the Rift Valley is, uh, united Rift Valley. And, that's how every wise leader must use as a mechanism to have a strategy to win a particular race. In this case, I would say, Mount Kenya, they have to look for their destiny.

[00:01:40]In fact, they already judged. Because, don't forget that actually they elected this current government on a daylight and with a lot of, uh, confidence that William will respect that particular exercise.

[00:01:57]And it is very true that in Murima could not walk with William Ruto in the last general election, Ruto could not be able to secure the threshold required by our constitution to attain to to become the president. And I think it is very true if there's a betrayal in one of the middle, that betrayal must be treated as a betrayal and nobody can come today and say that Mount Kenya is making a forcing a rebellion. It is a rebellion that was caused because who caused that particular rebellion never saw the light at the end of the tunnel. They did so that short term. They never focused on the longer term of this particular trade. And if I was wise as head of state, I could not have allowed the division between Murima and the ruling at that point in time. I could have waited to see the rate of the second term so that you can rebel now that second term. No, the rope is just In fact, let me tell you, this particular Karau vote may in one way injure William very badly because now people has known that oh, we can eat and go home. We can eat and go and decide otherwise and nobody can be able to run for us. And therefore, it's a smoke that might even injure injure his future campaign if he relies on resources. I think what William should do from now is not to take this matter lightly if he is really focused on winning a general election. And as a strategist, he must know where about which buttons he must also work out. I agree with Mutambo that Mount Kenya region required services.

[00:03:50]They require service from the government. They elected this government. They are taxpayers.

[00:03:56]You cannot be able to deny them what you call services. So, development they require them like yesterday. And today we have a very good constitution at the moment which gives you what we call freedom to exercise everything. Including developments can find you even when you are in opposition. Remember today our constitution is crafted on a manner that the resources devolves itself to the constituencies, to the to the to the counties freely. And therefore any single leader who is at the top cannot stop those kind of development to particular areas that are designated to.

[00:04:39]And in this case we are now at the critical point where we we are now heading to the critical critical date of 2027. And what I'm saying William should not ignore.

[00:04:54]>> Okay.

[00:04:54]I think I think William O this have there's something you know why why we are saying that political slavery it is because there are some aspects that are always associated with this kind of
