Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has intensified his efforts to unite Mt. Kenya region by declaring his willingness to work with those who opposed his and President William Ruto's candidacy in the last general elections.
Speaking during the Mt. Kenya Golf Tournament held at the Nyeri Golf Club, the DP emphasized that the elections are now in the past, and he is ready to work with those who were on the opposing side for the sake of achieving political and economic unity within the region.
Gachagua's extension of an olive branch to his political opponents comes at a time when discussions about unity in the region are prevalent. Many have called for him and former President Uhuru Kenyatta to put aside their political differences to achieve political stability in this influential voting region.
At the event, which attracted over 174 golfers, mainly businesspeople and all Members of Parliament from the region, Gachagua also addressed the reasons behind the high cost of living and the region's declining fortunes. He pointed out that by stabilizing agriculture, the country can lower the cost of living. Gachagua also expressed confidence that this year alone, the region will achieve a production of over 40 million bags.
