Jeremiah Kioni, the secretary-general of the Jubilee Party, has raised concerns about the perceived sidelining of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from governmental affairs.

According to Kioni, Gachagua has been left isolated and neglected by President William Ruto since their election in 2022.

In an interview with Hot 96 FM, Kioni suggested that the deputy president was used solely as a means to secure the presidency.

"I informed Rigathi Gachagua within a year that Ruto had severed ties with him. A year later, he finds himself isolated, abandoned, and lonely," claimed Kioni.

He further contended that the government is leveraging Gachagua's supporters against him preemptively.

Jeremiah Kioni advices Mt. Kenya voters

Kioni's remarks carry a warning to voters in the Mount Kenya region, urging them to remain vigilant as there are purported schemes to throw them out of power for the next 50 years.

"His allies are turning against him unwittingly, unaware that their reckoning is imminent. The game is over. Saa hii kila mtu amerambwa kabisa, hakukaliki.

There are schemes to keep us away from authority for 50 years. We are a bloc of nine million electorates that cannot be disregarded. Our sole task is to awaken and reject misleading narratives," he added.

Gachagua advocates for one man, one shilling

Meanwhile, Gachagua supported a section of leaders demanding more resource allocation to the Mt. Kenya region due to its large population.

Gachagua argued that having a larger population means they pay more taxes and, hence, need to receive more resources.

He stated that he would not offer an apology for demanding an equal share of resources based on one man, one vote, one shilling.
