Deputy President Kithure Kindiki directly criticized former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during a gathering of elders in Nembure, Embu County. Kindiki expressed his attempts to reconcile with Gachagua, despite the latter's arrogance and disrespect. The remarks came after Gachagua publicly told Kindiki not to call him his brother.
Kindiki warned Gachagua that his attitude would eventually catch up with him. He clarified that his use of the term "brother" was not based on political friendship or personal affection, but rather on cultural and historical ties among the Gikuyu, Meru, Embu, and Mbeere communities. Kindiki accused Gachagua of disrespecting senior leaders, other individuals, and even those close to him.
The exchange follows Gachagua's public demand that Kindiki stop referring to him as his brother, after the latter's remarks at a church service where he accused Kindiki of not respecting him after leaving office.
