Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has praised the people of Meru County, describing them as a community known for courage, truthfulness, hard work, and integrity.
In a recent social media post accompanied by photos of large crowds during his visit to Imenti North, Gachagua said the Meru community stands firmly against dishonesty and violence. According to him, the residents value honesty and leadership that respects the people.
Gachagua said that the Meru people “hate violence, detest lies and fake promises, and abhor pretenders.” He noted that despite challenges during his visit, many residents still turned up in large numbers to meet and listen to the leaders.
The former Deputy President also claimed that his team faced intimidation during the visit but continued with their engagement with the public.
“We braved on despite violence and state-sponsored militia by despots and spoke to the people who had waited for us in numbers,” he stated.
Gachagua further expressed gratitude to the residents on behalf of other leaders who accompanied him, including Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, Justin Muturi, and Mithika Linturi. He thanked the people of Imenti North for the warm reception and strong support they showed during the visit.
At the same time, Gachagua reminded Kenyans about the importance of the upcoming 2027 General Election. In his message, he hinted at the growing political preparations by writing, “On 10th August 2027, we have a date!”
He concluded his message with a patriotic statement saying, “God bless you, God bless Kenya.”
The visit highlights the increasing political activity in Meru County as leaders continue to seek support ahead of the 2027 elections, with many observers noting that such engagements play a major role in shaping voter opinion and strengthening political alliances.
