With unwavering conviction, Gachagua pointed fingers at his former boss, accusing him of disrespecting the very people he was elected to serve. The air crackled with tension as Gachagua voiced his disapproval of various government policies, making it clear that he would not be playing nice come the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining Gachagua in his crusade against the Kenya Kwanza government were Senators Okiya Omtatah and Joe Nyutu, who didn&#8217;t hold back in their criticism of President William Ruto&#8217;s decision to scrap the vetting process for residents in border areas seeking identity cards. The duo argued that this move could potentially jeopardize national security, sending shockwaves through the crowd gathered at the funeral.As the dust settled, some leaders present openly expressed regret for their past support of the Kenya Kwanza government, with whispers of defection from the UDA party looming on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1739340391895-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1739340391895-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1739340391895-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The winds of change were blowing strong, and it was clear that a storm was brewing within the political landscape of Kenya.But amidst the chaos and discord, one issue united these leaders in a chorus of condemnation: the alarming rate of abductions plaguing the country. With a resounding voice, they emphasized that it is the solemn duty of the government to protect the lives of every citizen, a duty that cannot be taken lightly.In the wake of this monumental gathering, the echoes of dissent and defiance reverberated through the hearts of the people, igniting a spark of hope for a future where leaders truly stand for the welfare of their nation. The funeral of William Kinywa may have been a somber occasion, but it also served as a rallying cry for change, a call to arms for a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bold and fiery display of dissent, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua took center stage at the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[6,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-politics"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Political Pandemonium-Shake Up Funeral with Explosive Criticisms! - Tandao Media<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua\u2019s take.Political Pandemonium: Gachagua and Co.
