Martha Karua has slammed Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over his remarks on George Wajackoyah visiting Mt Kenya region. 

Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua has slammed Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua after he asked Azimio leaders from Mt Kenya to stop inviting Roots Party leader George Wajackoyah to the region.

Karua in a statement via Twitter on Monday, June 12 accused Gachagua of making embarrassing utterances and conducting himself as a bully.

The Azimio co-principal also accused DP Gachagua of having unresolved integrity issues.

“What is embarrassing is the utterances and conduct of characters like him who have serious unresolved integrity issues, and who behave like village bullies,” Karua stated.

Speaking on Monday in Chuka, Tharaka Nithi County, DP Gachagua said it was wrong for Azimio leaders to invite Wajackoyah for events in Mt Kenya yet the region is struggling with bhang.

“Azimio leaders from Mt Kenya know that the region is struggling with alcohol and bhang yet they invite Wajackoyah to events here as a chief guest. What are we telling our children? This is a man who went on national television and said bhang should not only be smoked but also grown. What message are you sending to our young people?” Gachagua posed.

The DP further stated that inviting Wajackoyah to Mt Kenya is laughing at the Kenya Kwanza government’s war on illicit alcohol and drug abuse in the region.
