  "account": "Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has criticized Rigathi Gachagua, warning him against further political attacks. Kindiki accused Gachagua of disrespecting leaders and questioning his political conduct. He explained that referring to Gachagua as his \"brother\" was not an expression of affection, but a reflection of the unity among the Agikuyu, Embu, Meru and Mbeere communities. Kindiki stated he would not be forced to reveal secrets if Gachagua continued attacking him, as he had previously helped Gachagua stay in office. Kindiki also directly challenged Gachagua's political campaign against President William Ruto's re-election, stating they would face each other together in the 2027 election. He warned Gachagua not to misuse the community and urged the Mt Kenya elders to intervene in growing political divisions.",
