Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has set the political stage ablaze with a newly released song that has quickly become an anthem among the Mrima people. In the bold track, Gachagua urges locals not to clap, cheer, or even attend President William Ruto’s meetings unless they are financially compensated. This daring message, embedded in catchy lyrics, has sent shockwaves across the political landscape, with many interpreting it as a direct challenge to Ruto’s authority in the region.
The song, now trending across Mt Kenya, captures the growing frustrations among residents who feel that their support has not translated into economic benefits. By using music as a political weapon, Gachagua has strategically reinforced his call for Mt Kenya to demand a bigger share of the national cake. His message has resonated with some supporters who believe the region’s backing of Kenya Kwanza has been overlooked, while others view it as a dangerous attempt to deepen divisions within the ruling coalition.
As the anthem continues to gain momentum, the big question remains—will this be a turning point in Mt Kenya politics? Will Ruto respond to the growing unrest, or will he seek to silence Gachagua’s rising influence? With political tensions reaching new heights, this song might just be the spark that shifts the region’s power dynamics ahead of the next election.
