Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has told Kiambu leaders to unite and work together and stop the high-octane politics in the County.
Speaking at ACK St.Mark's New Kamiti Parish, in Kiambu town constituency on Sunday, May 5, Mr Gachagua said leaders should focus on social and economic development issues of their areas and the Nation instead of engaging in endless politicking.
The Deputy President disclosed that he would convene a final meeting to find a lasting solution for the squabbles between the leaders in Kiambu County.
"It pains me a lot to see leaders tearing each other. I appeal to the leaders to work together for the development of the county. Kiambu is important to President Ruto and I, it gave us a lot of votes in 2022. I will convene a meeting to find a lasting solution to any squabbles. Please tone down on the high-octane politics," remarked Gachagua.

"The country needs us and citizens have great expectations. Let all leaders focus on service delivery, that is what Kenyans expect from us," he said as he told off a section of politicians propagating lies and propaganda through online platforms that he dismissed as unhelpful and disgraceful.
On the flooding situation in the country, the Deputy President reiterated his call on Kenyans to stop daring nature by crossing swollen rivers and living near spilling dams.
"We have a problem with climate change. It is no longer a topic but is real and is here with us. We have just recovered from the worst drought in 40 years and five failed rain seasons. We lost 2.5 million cattle heads during the drought and used millions of shillings in mitigation," Gachagua stated.
