Why traders are protesting new Sh3.2m KRA container tax

Wangui Ngirici, a former Kirinyaga Woman Representative and Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader, has expressed disagreement with her party leader Rigathi Gachagua over claims that Ndindi Nyoro, an MP, is a mole and a project of the state. Speaking in an interview on August 29, 2026, Ngirici emphasized that, despite Gachagua being her party leader, they have differing viewpoints and are likely to disagree on certain matters, particularly regarding this issue.

She urged an end to labeling others as moles and urged people to align with the party they believe is best for them. Ngirici respected Gachagua as her party leader but reiterated her commitment to the DCP party, stating she would not deviate from it. She refused to join Nyoro in the People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) and pledged to fight within the DCP party, despite the mounting criticisms.

This comes at a time when Nyoro has been labeled a mole by DCP party members, with opponents dubbing his party a "wheelbarrow party," implying it is a subsidiary of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) masquerading as an opposition party.
