📻 Breaking It Down

Kindiki said his continued reference to Gachagua as his “brother” was not a sign of affection or fear, but a reflection of the longstanding unity among the Agikuyu, Embu, Meru and Mbeere communities.

“When you hear me addressing you as my brother, it is not because I fear you nor because I love you so much, because you have a lot of disrespect. I am trying to love you, but you have a lot of disrespect,” Kindiki said.

Speaking during the Mt Kenya Elders Solemn Assembly in Nembure, Manyatta Constituency, Embu County, on Saturday, Kindiki said Gachagua could not dictate how he should address him.

📌 What You Need to Know

“You have said openly that I should not call you my brother. I want to tell you, Mr. Rigathi, it is not upon you to tell me how I should call you. It is not your business; it is my business,” he said.

Kindiki said the elders had defined the communities of Mt Kenya as one, making Gachagua his brother regardless of their political differences.

“I am calling you my brother because the elders of our communities—Aembu, Agikuyu, Ameru and Mbeere—told me that our community is one. Therefore, you are my brother by blood, not by choice,” he said.

The Deputy President accused Gachagua of disrespecting leaders above and below him, questioning his political conduct and warning him against further attacks.

“I don’t know what kind of a human being you are. You disrespect your seniors, juniors and your brother. Now, how can you be the only right man in the whole world? You have to live well with your brothers,” Kindiki said.

He also blamed what he described as Gachagua’s “arrogance” for his removal from the Deputy President’s office, saying he had personally attempted to persuade him to maintain a good working relationship with President William Ruto.
