Gachagua Goes After Mudavadi & Wetangula

 

The political temperatures in Western Kenya just hit boiling point. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, now leading the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), took the United Alternative Government (UAG) opposition campaign straight to Luanda, Vihiga County.  


While the tour was aimed at consolidating the massive Western vote bank ahead of the 2027 polls, it is Gachagua's unfiltered, raw attack on the region's top leaders that has the internet in a frenzy.

1. The Core Brief: The "Betrayal" of the Luhya Nation

​Gachagua didn't mince words. He went flat-out after Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, accusing them of selling out the Western region for personal gain.  

​The 30% Deal Forgotten: Gachagua reminded the crowd that Mudavadi and Wetang'ula signed an MoU with President Ruto for 30% of government slots. Now that they have lucrative jobs, he claims they completely stopped fighting for it.  

​Dead Promises: He pointed out that the 1,000 kilometers of tarmacked roads and the solid revival of Mumias and Nzoia Sugar companies have been completely abandoned because the two leaders "fear being kicked out of government.


. The Viral Part: "Kucheza na Tumbo" & Political Diarrhea

​The part lighting up social media right now stems from Gachagua’s signature, hard-hitting vernacular metaphors regarding political greed.

​Addressing the Luanda crowd, Gachagua blasted Mudavadi and Wetang’ula for practicing "siasa ya tumbo" (belly politics). He told the residents that the two leaders used the Luhya community's numbers to bargain for power, only to satisfy their own stomachs while the ground starved.

​"Musalia ni muoga, Wetang'ula anafuata mambo yake na tumbo yake..." (Musalia is a coward, Wetang'ula is just following his own stomach...)


​The Big Takeaway

​Gachagua and the opposition coalition (including Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa) are sending a clear warning to Kenya Kwanza: they are tracking a path to mobilize 20 million votes for 2027, and they are starting by dismantling the absolute grip Mudavadi and Wetang'ula thought they had on the Mulembe nation.  

​For a raw look at the fiery rhetoric and how the crowd reacted on the ground, you can check out this video covering Gachagua's direct onslaught against Mudavadi and Wetang'ula, which captures the exact moments he accused the duo of prioritizing their stomachs over their community's interests.

KINYITA FAMILY SPEAKS AFTER THEIR CHILD WEAPONIZED FOR 'POLITICAL GAINS'

Where Do We Draw the Line? The Hypocrisy of Political Mudslinging Kinyita Family Through Parto Kinyita had This to say: ​" Sadly, this is how some people choose to settle political scores by invading the privacy of an innocent child who has absolutely nothing to do with their political battles. The same social media loudmouths who constantly preach about protecting their own children's privacy suddenly find the audacity to discuss, parade, and scrutinize a child they do not even know. ​If your children deserve privacy, then so do other people's children. Dragging an innocent child into political mudslinging is not activism, courage, or journalism !it is pure hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy and stupid by birth and self effort!!" We’ve all seen how toxic political discourse can get online, but a recent viral post reminds us of a line that should absolutely never be crossed: the privacy of innocent children. The Double Standard of Online "Activism" ​The core iss...
