Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has dismissed allegations that he is attempting to divide the Mount Kenya region, asserting that the GEMA community remains united. In a recent statement, Kindiki emphasized that political differences should be resolved through policy and democratic processes rather than through divisive actions. His remarks came in response to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who had accused him of fostering regional tensions.
Gachagua has further fueled the controversy by sharing an alleged WhatsApp message from Kindiki to MP Mukunji, which is said to reference recent violence in Embu. The message, according to Gachagua, appears to suggest a lack of unity within the region. However, Kindiki has not yet responded directly to the leaked message.
The situation has deepened political tensions in Embu, with both leaders using public statements to assert their positions. While no direct confrontation has occurred, the exchange highlights the growing divisions within Kenya’s political landscape. The dispute remains unresolved, with both sides continuing to present their narratives.
