How to End Gachagua's Mt Kenya 'Kingpinship', else, The Country Falls
People who know him well - from his UoN days - all say that 'Rigathi is worse than Ruto'.
In Central, his supporters fall in 3 categories:
- Manipulated to like him;
- Politicians who now believe they must be loyal to him for political survival;
- Wananchi who believe 'everybody loves him, so I also support him, even if I have no reason to like him'.
Among people outside the Mountain - including Edwin Sifuna - many believe 'to remove Ruto, we must work with Gachagua, because he controls Mt Kenya vote'.
Therefore, if people from Central stopped supporting RiggyG, those from outside Central would also stop supporting him - because they would then see no reason to.
How will Central people end this 'Gachagua-worship?'
By identifying how it has come about & reversing what has been done.
FACT: This 'Gachagua is Mt Kenya kingpin' talk started less than 2 years ago.
i.e. within less than 2 years, they have been able to manipulate millions of people, until now they view Gachagua as some sort of semi-deity.
Imagine so many people calling Rigathi 'My Kingpin', yet when you ask them to state reasons they love him, they have no answer.
And this is the 2nd time this is happening in Central region - after the same was done regarding Ruto in 2018-2023.
Then after 2023, they started saying, 'We were duped (to love Ruto)!'.
Today, Mt Kenya people have been duped to view Gachagua in the same manner they viewed Ruto several years ago.
This problem cannot be solved, unless the strategy used to manipulate the good people of the Mountain is identified & neutralised.
They have used 2 methods to make Central people believe Gachagua has suddenly become a semi-deity: Mass media (TV/Radio) & Social media.
Therefore, the solution to this problem lies in these 2 areas.
1. TV/Radio (Broadcasting to Central KE audience)
These vernacular TV/Radio stations have had the most impact in promoting Gachagua to Central people, especially among older people - millennials & older.
My understanding is that, owners of the largest media stations operating in the region, know Gachagua very well & consider it a tragedy that he is now viewed as a 'hero' by many people in the region.
How some producers & presenters in these media companies came to 'work for Rigathi's interests' is an area I won't go to now (to avoid digressing).
At least one of the media stations attempted several weeks ago to do something about this problem - by sacking the most prominent Gachagua propagandist working at the company.
However, there was outcry in the Mountain, with people demanding the propagandist be returned to work, else...
The Gachagua propagandist sacking was soon reversed.
The media company had no choice - a person not familiar with what has been going on in Central Kenya for the past 10 years wouldn't understand how that can happen.
Going forward:
To neutralise Gachagua-praise in these TV & Radio stations, without provoking viewers/listeners to 'take the law into their hands' & attacking the companies, will require the following strategy:
Don't sack anyone.
But hire extra producers & presenters who understand who Gachagua really is & are willing to do their part to save the community and the country.
If a presenter, who is a Gachagua propagandist, works at a certain prime time slot, say from Monday to Friday, reduce it to Monday to Wednesday.
Then on Thursday & Friday, let the show be done by the Deprogrammer.
The Deprogrammer will start by showing video clips of Gachagua speaking in vernacular - that most people who consider him a hero have never seen.
(I have personally posted several of these videos, and something very interesting is that, when mouthy Gachagua supporters see them, they shut up.
Out of the thousands of people who have viewed them & understand the language, only 1 has ever replied.
I suppose others go underground due to shame & embarrassment after seeing who Gachagua really is)
As days go by & the public start anxiously waiting for the next episode by the Deprogrammer, he/she would introduce the matter of what Gachagua was doing while a student at UoN & while he was a powerful D.O.
In the matter of UoN: There is a person who has publicly stated that he was year-mates with Gachagua (and I think in same faculty).
This person was arrested for 'sedition' while a student at UoN & jailed.
He publicly fingered Gachagua as the person who snitched him to the Special Branch - sometime in late 1980s.
The Deprogrammer would invite this person to the studio, so viewers/listeners can know the kind of person Rigathi was in his youth - and he never changed, as would be proved by inviting his surviving victims while he worked as D.O., to tell the public what he did to them.
NB: This is a very large topic, that includes related sub-topics: (a) part 2 of the Deprogramming (social media); (b) The 3 remaining Moles in Real Opposition; (c) What steps Real Opposition should take, after Sifuna-Gachagua-Owino deal.
To be continued at a later date...
Ekuru Aukot was fully prepared here to take on that agendaless man head-on. Sifundu was there to mock him, but Ekuru was ready too and hit back with a strong comeback.
Mambo imechemka Hapa after these two legends now claim they're related with kanyatta's family; now they are demanding for the government to help them find out the truth through DNA.
Michael Ngige anasema anafanana ma mzee Jomo Kenyatta na anataka DNA test.
Naye Uhunye Wa Umoo anataka kupatana na Rais Uhuru Kenyatta lakini DNA si lazima.

When a "presidential" candidate takes one hour live on air telling one community how they are hated,targetted and discriminated against what do you call that if NOT tribalism?
In one hour live interview in Kikuyu language, no mention of how he will change the economy, poverty levels, eliminate Jiggers , promote boychild and eradicate drugs, improve Trade and cash crops or promote health .
What kind of a leader is this?
A tribalist !
Mlima is diving in to deep HOLE lead by a blind chauvinistic fellow full of self entitlement.
Call me names but this is a fact .
