Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has pushed back against criticism that he is singling out women leaders in his recent political attacks, insisting his focus is strictly on what he calls “betrayal of the people.”
Speaking at a public forum in Kangai Shopping Centre in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, Gachagua clarified that his remarks are not gender-based but aimed at leaders he believes have abandoned the interests of the Mt Kenya region.
“I have not attacked any woman leader. I am only calling out betrayers,” he told residents, adding that accountability should apply equally to all leaders regardless of gender.
