Gachagua: KIKUYUS ALMOST ATTACKED ME BECAUSE OF LEAVING HEAVY OLKALOU BYELECTION TO 35YR OLD METHU

[00:00:00]person you should call is the one who build it. He will demonstrate for you very fast. In case you don't get him, you get look at us. They may struggle because they don't know where there's a strong beam, where there's a strong column, where they put a lot of vibration. But we are the ones who made William R.

[00:00:17]>> Okay?

[00:00:18]>> And we know how he became president. We know his weaknesses. We know where we can be able to corner him. I think I'm the best person. But I am open. I am game with my colleagues whatever we agree but I want to assure you from my end I have total commitment >> to the identification of a single presidential candidate is one of the discussions that is going on in Woro it's very heated it's very heated that discussion if they are saying is you yes it must be you are saying okay what if it's not me who we are discussing that is >> who are they saying if it's not you >> no is that's I'm See, that's a discussion. It's going on. It's going on. It's going on.

[00:01:01]>> Okay. Okay. Uh you're on record saying that you'll be signing a public pact as the United opposition principles with the people of Kenya committing to support whoever will be >> that that was my proposal. I believe my colleagues will agree because I have asked them many times.

[00:01:21]I have made public pronouncement to say I regard presidential candidate. If it's not me, I'll support somebody else. I ask my colleagues, you don't put your supporters in a corner. You know, if you say it is you and is you and is you, if it is not you, there could be some complication >> and a fallout >> and a fallout. So what I have done myself because I'm so genuine and I'm so desirous that we have one presidential candidate because of [snorts] the urgency of removing William R from office because he's bad for the country.

[00:01:56]The country is is is getting finished.

[00:01:59]The country has been taken over by goons and rock police officers. So what I have done I have prepared my supporters who are in millions for the eventuality that there is a possibility it is not me. So that if we agree we support somebody else, I carry them along. I am tonight once more asking my colleagues that they must continuously pronounce themselves before they are supporters the way I do.

[00:02:25]And I'm happy I had gallons also having that narrative.

[00:02:29]>> We must continue preparing our narratives that this national duty is beyond you as a person is a sacrifice for the country. For this country to stand, William must go. For him to go easily, we must have one presidential candidate, not two. Since it is critical because that is what Kenyans want, it is that it could be them or not them. I think it's not too much to ask your take on the Linda Monanchi faction. And as I asked this uh just today, Dr. Dr. Fred Matiangi was hosting a section of leaders from Linda Monanchi and optics in politics plays a very big part.

[00:03:13]Nothing happens by chance. So did you know of this meeting? Give us your take on >> about it. It's a good meeting. Yeah, >> I think continuous engagement among people who are like-minded is very help.

[00:03:37]If you look the guys around me, they all young. I lead. I am I am a very genuine leader. When I see I'm mentoring young people, I do it. If you look at Alcalao, I never went to Alao myself to campaign.

[00:03:53]>> Why is that?

[00:03:54]>> I left it to the young people. You know, I've been mentoring young leaders within my region because I don't want a situation where we could be where President Huru Kata left us.

[00:04:11]President Huru Kata did a lot for this country and we respect him for the work he did for this country.

[00:04:18]politics in our region there was one gap he did not mentor anybody by the time he was leaving office he was taking us to because we didn't have anybody I have decided consciously in consultation with the elders to prepare the leaders of tomorrow and if you see why I have succeeded why DCP is so strong why we had such a strong showing in onalo regard the DCP party leader is surrounded by young energetic leaders.

[00:04:50]I feel youthful myself because of the youthfulness around me. In local I decided I made a conscious decision.

[00:04:59]I said I have been mentoring some young people. I want to test whether they have come of age. I want to see whether this mentorship program of mine has worked. I ask Senator John Meo, 35year-old Moa, please lead the campaign and get your colleagues Jerry Miner 29 30 Koga 41 young people.

[00:05:23]>> Mhm.

[00:05:24]>> And I'm so I'm among the things I'm celebrating in this window of Gala is a success of my mentorship program but the leaders of mentoring have come of age. In fact, I was under a lot of pressure from the community that Kalao was very important because of the dignity of our community that if something went wrong, they'll be very offended and they were fighting me a bit irresponsible in fact reckless that I had left it to 35year-old man to drive such an important exercise and many people urged me to move to Kalawa and take charge but I had confidence that for the last two Yes, I have mentored men and women young ones and they have come of age and I really wanted to know >> okay >> and I told my people go and deliver in fact when William R put too much money and brought the train they chicken they almost chickenened out and said oh boss this thing is too important for us R has put too much money we have seven ministers we have please come and help us I said no you guys I want to see whether you have come of age this thing drive it to the end.

[00:06:39]>> They reached a point they panic. In fact, I drove all the way to Yahuru to go and take over the the campaign.

[00:06:48]They were panicking because of the goodies, because of the money. I went to Yahuru and then I changed. I went in a small vehicle. I changed. I went round.

[00:07:00]I listen.

[00:07:02]I called them. I say continue. It's no problem. Today I want to tell the people you know there are people who have been saying oh the mountain will not have a press presidential candidate oh can be locked out by the courts. In fact most members of parliament from the mountain they have gone to William saying please interfere with the courts and make sure is bad from ever running because if he runs he'll finish us. see what you can do with the court and make sure he is barred from ever running so that if he doesn't run, the mountain doesn't have a presidential candidate, then it's easier for us to get elected.

[00:07:45]>> I have very bad news for you, you people who have been pressurizing William R to interfere with the courts and make sure that I'm not a candidate and the mountain has no cate. I have very bad news for you. of young men and women who have come of age in the in the unfortunate event that William R interferes with the court process and I'm bad from ever running. I have men and women ready to run.

[00:08:13]>> So, me and the community >> will agree pick one and I can tell them those young people I have are more lethal than reg. In fact, a contest between one of my people, the ones I have, they would have a better showing than I as a presidential candidate because one, they are youthful, they have a lot of energy, and also the country is craving for youthful leadership. So those who have been going to R crying to him that he can use his influence and money to corrupt the courts so that I'm locked out so that the mountain will never have a candidate for president, for deputy president. you I have bad news for you after my team because I then there all my young people 18 of them were there from among them in case they succeed and you see I cannot we have men and women competent >> all right >> capable articulate energetic to be president or deputy president for that matter and I'm a very happy leader that my mentorship my community will never be exposed again >> that even if even if today anything happened to me even if today anything happened to me I've established successfully a clear leadership structure that the community will never get convinced if I'm not there pick so and so move on >> all right so you seem to think they are tested tried those guys are good >> is h my team there I can >> I can consult the community >> pick one of them to presidential candidate. He'll beat William in the morning.

[00:09:52]>> Since you're so enthusiastic about youthful leadership, there's some who are saying that Edwin Suna, the Nairobi senator, is putting the cat before the horse. Mia, there others who saying he has proved himself.

[00:10:07]>> I'm telling Edwin Suna not to listen to that nonsense.

[00:10:14]>> Edwina, please pursue your dream. All dreams are valid. In fact, that is one young man you've given me opportunity. I would also like to mentor among my guys.

[00:10:25]I am I'm telling you, Roas. Let's be honest.

[00:10:30]>> Would you support us?

[00:10:33]>> Why not?

[00:10:33]>> Okay.

[00:10:34]>> I am I am a kind of a person who is so genuine. You know, Kenyan says a truthful man. I am one leader who is not threatened by youthful people.

[00:10:44]The kind of meth kungo jerry the people I've mentored not many leaders would agree they would feel threatened leaving that campaign to my young leaders to take credit shows that kashagua does not feel threatened by young people and I will never ste for growth >> okay >> of young leadership I want to encourage Edwin Suuna Akina John metho jin jerry kunga cleop marara babu We know >> all these youthful people, please, the time is now. Let people not tell you that you are leaders of tomorrow. No, no, no. Don't listen to that nonsense.

[00:11:24]The time is now. I look forward to sitting with Edwin Sona. I listen to him. I have sat with Babu. I've listened to those young people. I have sat with people that I work closely with.

[00:11:35]>> I believe that the greatest resource for our country is our youthful population.

[00:11:41]We have got good leaders. They have no history of corruption. They are not tainted. They are not tribal. They have no beef with anybody. They are not fulful.

[00:11:51]What? What a resource for this country.

[00:11:53]>> Then why they are not short of options.

[00:11:56]>> Why would you caution the governor of Muranga?

[00:12:00]>> No, no, no, no, no. The governor of Muranga would have fallen into a government scheme without knowing.

[00:12:08]The chairman of IBC had threatened to cancel the bi-election if there is violence.

[00:12:16]I am I am a consumer of intelligence.

[00:12:18]>> I was deputy president. I was also a civil servant for the longest. I have serious network within government.

[00:12:25]Actually I have more information than William R most time. William R is too busy doing business deals. He doesn't know what's going on in the country. I had information that William had told Ethon to try to cancel that bi-election because it was not going well. That is why he issued a press conference saying if there is violence I'll cancel this election. They had planned violence that weekend. So when Kangata said he'll go to Analo >> one we are not invited him but there's nothing wrong with him coming. I actually sent him a message through the senator Jun. I said tell Kata that place is very complicated and there are issues that he would know for now let him keep off let it remain a local affair because even I and the party leader have not gone to campaign for my candidate because I know what is happening please let him not go okay so he was so he said okay okay okay then we had his still continuing I sent him again I said tell him that uh it will not go well if he goes there will be violence because You know these people have been attacking leader Moni.

[00:13:30]>> So they wanted to attack leader moni in oral then there is reaction yeah from the public then they are chaos then they cancel the bi-election and we didn't want it canceled because we were winning.

[00:13:41]>> Okay.

[00:13:42]>> Then they also wanted to abduct John Meth. So I also told him to lessen his movement. Even myself they wanted I go there they attack me. I lessened my movement. So we outweeted the government through a lot of adverse intelligence.

[00:13:55]So when my younger brother Kangata did not respond positively and he decided to go ahead I had to admonish him publicly for him to stop and he did well but he decided to go to Nahuru you saw what happened so I am somebody people of Kenya know if tells you if he's pregnant please buy diapers if tells you don't go to there will be violence please don't go when tells tourist for Now please wait a little bit for us to fix things.

[00:14:29]You listen to me. I am I'm a very responsible leader and I have too much information. I I I am a walking uh box of information. Kenyans give me a lot of information. I have very [clears throat] loyal police officers. Okay. I have loyal intelligence officers who love this country and who see me as a protector of this country and they give me information to for bad things that can happen in this country.

[00:14:58]>> Naturally out of curiosity and ask who your intelligence intel comes from but as a many you don't mention your sources 75% of the national intelligence service is with me.

[00:15:11]>> 90% of the national police service is with me. The entire civil service is with me you know because they are also they are very they are very unhappy. Let me tell you they are very unhappy about the reading of the pay. Let me tell you the the the the civil service, the private sector obviously school of thought that the first thing we do on assuming office is to restore the dignity of the person you included. Yeah. Tell me what is happening. When Mumen had decided to wreck havoc in the on the peace li included. Yeah. Tell me what is happening. When Mukman had decided to wreck havoc in the mountain I think we need to take time uh so that we build synergy, we build trust, we mobilize numbers. Naming a presidential candidate before you mobilize numbers is an excess in futility.

[00:18:48]How do you go to war before you put your soldiers?

[00:18:53]You cannot just
