Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchomba has threatened to sever ties with United Democratic Alliance (UDA) over what she terms perpetuated hate speech from President William Ruto's allies.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

While speaking during an interview on a local radio station on August 31, the outspoken lawmaker says she can no longer stand by quietly as inflammatory remarks from within the ruling party's ranks go unpunished and unchecked.

Her frustration has been building for weeks, and she is now accusing the government of running a two-tier justice system that shields its own, with leaders aligned to President Ruto's administration appearing to enjoy a form of immunity that ordinary citizens accused of similar offences would never receive.

“We cannot have a selective party leadership, where those close to the President cannot face consequences of their own actions as opposed to those who are not,” Wamuchomba said.

She insisted this selective treatment is dangerous, warning that unresolved ethnic tension within the political class could easily spiral into something far worse for the country.

Wamuchomba says her patience has run out, especially after watching what she describes as repeated provocations targeting her own Kikuyu community go without consequence.

"I have been supporting him, believing that he can improve. I felt I had the responsibility to support him, pray for him and advise him. But the more we support him, the more he is messing, the more his people are messing up," she added.

Her anger is rooted in two recent incidents that have stirred public debate around ethnicity and political loyalty inside President Ruto's UDA fold.

The first ultimatum centers on nominated MP Joseph Wainaina, whose leaked remarks suggested Kikuyus opposed to Ruto's re-election bid should leave Uasin Gishu County altogether.

Wainaina has denied the accusation, insisting his comments were taken out of context and that he has never encouraged any form of ethnic hostility.
