A section of leaders from the Western region, led by President William Ruto’s close ally Farouk Kibet, have strongly criticized former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for promoting divisive politics aimed at destabilizing the government.
Speaking during a joint fundraising event at AIC Sipande Primary School to support the completion of both Imani and Canaan PAG Churches in Lugari Constituency, Kibet urged residents to remain steadfast in their support for the Kenya Kwanza administration.

He assured them that the government has prioritized the region in its development agenda, with several transformative projects lined up to spur economic growth.
“The Kenya Kwanza administration is committed to delivering on its promises, and the Western region stands to benefit significantly from ongoing and upcoming development initiatives,” Kibet stated.
He further dismissed Gachagua’s recent remarks, accusing him of attempting to create unnecessary political tensions and discord within the ruling coalition.
Lugari MP Nabii Nabwera echoed Kibet’s sentiments, accusing Gachagua of trying to incite the Western region against President Ruto’s leadership. Nabwera affirmed that the region remains firmly behind the president and will not be swayed by divisive political rhetoric.
“Western Kenya is fully aligned with President Ruto’s vision for the country. We reject any attempts to divide us for selfish political gain,” Nabwera emphasized.
Several other leaders present at the event, including Likuyani MP Innocent Mugabe and Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa, reaffirmed their commitment to working with President Ruto to ensure the successful implementation of key government projects.
The event served as a platform for leaders to highlight the importance of unity and development in the region while cautioning against politics that could derail progress.
