Gachagua has done very well for himself post impeachment. Nobody has ever handled a career ending tackle and made lemonade out of lemons like the man from Wamunyoro. He will have his payday when nominations come and as things stand DCP will be the coveted ticket in Central Kenya.
The Assassination of Chief Waruhiu wa Kung'u
On 7th October 1952, Chief Hudson Waruhiu wa Kung'u, the Paramount Chief of the Kikuyu, was assassinated along Limuru Road while on his way to attend a Native Tribunal hearing near Nairobi.
A devout Christian, Chief Waruhiu had firmly refused to take the Mau Mau oath. He openly opposed the Mau Mau movement, believing it challenged his authority as a traditional elder and threatened his position as a respected landowner.
That morning, gunmen struck at close range. Chief Waruhiu was shot four times, with blood splattering onto his two terrified passengers. His killing sent shockwaves throughout the colony and became one of the defining events leading to the declaration of the State of Emergency later that month.
During the investigation, Wahinga Waweru Kamundia (33) and Gathugu Migwe (27) allegedly claimed that members of the Koinange family had planned the assassination. According to their statements, the arrangements were made at the Koinange home outside Nairobi on the Sunday before the murder, where they were allegedly handed the pistol that would later be used to kill Chief Waruhiu. These allegations have remained part of the historical record but have long been the subject of debate.
Within a week of the assassination, investigators had arrested several suspects. Among them was Wahinga Waweru Kamundia (33), the driver and registered owner of the Ford taxi used to ferry the assassins. Following his confession, he implicated Gathugu Migwe (27), who earned a living selling second-hand clothes from a small shop in Kabete. Both men had two children each and hailed from Kiambu District.
After a trial before Justice Rudd, both men were found guilty. Witnesses identified them as occupants of the taxi involved in the assassination. They were sentenced to death and were hanged on 7th May 1953.
Chief Waruhiu's assassination remains one of the most significant and controversial episodes in Kenya's colonial history, illustrating the deep divisions that existed within Kikuyu society during the Mau Mau uprising.
History reminds us that the struggle for independence was complex. Different individuals made different choices based on their convictions, beliefs, loyalties, and the circumstances of their time.

Letter to Fellow Members of Parliament: @Senate_KE@NAssemblyKE
Good evening Colleagues?
Today is one of those days many of you will ask me what the fuck are you smoking, Ledama? But truth be told..
Look at how extreme wealth is manufactured the moment someone is appointed Cabinet Secretary or elected County Governor in Kenya. It is not talent. It is not hard work. It is pure, raw power and we in Parliament have watched it happen for years.
A Cabinet Secretary or a Governor does not simply implement policy. They control the regulations and budgets that decide who eats and who starves in entire sectors and counties. They study the law, locate every loophole, every grey area, every discretionary power we in Parliament carelessly left them and then they quietly position their private companies, proxies, nominees, relatives, lovers and trusted intermediaries to monopolise the opportunities that follow.
…
Advertising is one of the most brazen examples. Seasoned operators from the big agencies suddenly resign, register new firms overnight, and within months they are vacuuming multimillion-shilling government and county campaigns. The link is almost never written on paper. It is personal. Boyfriends. Girlfriends. New relatives. Old schoolmates. Trusted bagmen. The public pays. The connected feast.
We passed the Conflict of Interest law with great ceremony. In reality it has been little more than a public-relations exercise designed to impress the IMF and foreign donors. We in Parliament know this. True, organised, industrial scale corruption in Kenya does not live in county assembly corridors or among junior clerks. It lives at the apex of the executive and in county boardrooms where the power to write the rules, award the contracts, and direct the advertising budgets is concentrated and we have failed to shut it down. Now ask yourselves a simple, damning question: how many private helicopters have been registered to Kenyans since 2013? The published lists are dominated by politicians and those closest to power. Some individuals own multiple aircraft. The numbers surge around election cycles. These machines are not bought with official salaries. They are flying monuments to the speed and scale at which public office has been converted into private fortune while ordinary Kenyans are ordered to tighten their belts.
This is not governance. This is extraction. Until we in Parliament close the rules that allow those in the executive and in the counties to legislate and budget themselves rich and enforce them without fear or favour the cycle will continue. A small, protected circle will keep growing obscenely wealthy. The rest of the country will keep paying the price. The time for silence is over. Are we really honourable Members ? Distinguished Senators or a disgrace?
Paul said in 2 Timothy, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.” A sound mind is a positive mind, a hopeful mind. It’s a mind that’s at peace, a mind that knows God is in control, that He’s ordering your steps.
I didn’t have time to reply, but let me reply now, Mr. Basket Mouth...
What exactly are you fighting with a Class 2 person for? A classified conman who preys on his own people.
You think we don’t know your history? Laundering pirate money that wrecked our economy.
You fought the courts and hit a wall. You’ve conned your own people with fake legal counsel, and you still have the audacity to lecture everyone??
I’ve noticed you’ve been trying to drag me into your useless rhetoric to get my attention. We know your heart is with Wamunyoro. Go dine with your payroll master!!
I can’t have grey hair and be a stupid man like you. Stop this nonsense, Mr. Basket Mouth!! @ahmednasirlaw
My advice to Kenyans is simple: stop expecting the people who created the crisis to solve it. August 2027 is your opportunity to reset the Republic.
Your vote is more than a ballot, it is a verdict on broken promises, unchecked impunity, and failed leadership. Use it wisely. Governments change when citizens decide they have had enough.
Ukipewa Notice to show cause by the HR/ Employer,the decision has already been made. Save all the emails and keep every communication in writing.Note everything and start talking to a lawyer.Unlawful Termination and redundancies have become rampant.
If you’ve woken up healthy and well, be grateful. I wish everyone reading this a very successful and productive day ahead. May this day be fruitful for all of you.
When Kenyans are made Ministers, PSes, State Corporations CEOs & Chairmen or when MPs or tenderpreneurs have the President’s number, they think they are gods! They become arrogant, rude & condescending. Many start riding in long convoys with armed security.
What they always forget is that POWER IS TEMPORARY, TRANSIENT & ONLY FOR A SEASON.
Then it ends like morning dew. The Convoy ends. The Security stops. Phone calls stop. The false friends who were with you for the power disappear.
And madness sets in.
It is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there comes a season of remarkable progress and breakthroughs across multiple areas of your life. The only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
The things you keep avoiding often matter the most. They scare you because they have the power to change your life. Don't let fear decide your future. Face what you've been running from, and you may discover the growth you've been seeking.
You have to decide to be okay. Every single morning, wake up and consciously choose to be happy and keep it moving. Because the truth is, even the people you think they care, most of them really don’t. So choose you always.
Long before Rigathi Gachagua discovered that a political retreat to his rural home could add value to his image, Jomo Kenyatta had found out the same about Gatundu, and Daniel arap Moi followed suit with Kabarak.
In Kenya, the politician’s home has never been merely a private residence. It can be turned into a shrine, a court, or a theatre of loyalty and resistance. That is why Wamunyoro matters in our reading of national politics.

“Lord, bless me indeed. Enlarge my territory. Let Your hand be upon me, keep me from evil, and protect me from harm. May every door You have ordained for me open today, and may Your favor go before me. I declare victory, divine connections, good health, and abundant grace. In Jesus' name, Amen."
Good morning. Walk in purpose, favor, and victory!
Blessed Wednesday my people.
Lately, your biggest victory hasn’t been success or achievement. It’s simply making it through another difficult day—getting out of bed, carrying the weight, and continuing forward, even when your mind feels exhausted and life feels heavier than you can explain.
Total number of MPs - 349
Voted Yes - 122
Voted No - 40

Sometimes, you are not just paid to say YES.
You are paid to Abscond.
To Abscond is the same us to support.
Parliamentarians are not the People's representatives.
Parliamentarians are commercial lawmakers working for the colonial puppet.
We are on our own!

Every year before elections,
Your Presidential Candidates are invited to Chatham House by colonial masters,
Where they are groomed, couched, and assessed if they can become a problem or valuable to the colonial masters.
They are groomed to continue with oppression, where they take an oath to safeguard the Imperial British East Africa Company Ltd by defending the interests of the colonial masters.
The Presidential Candidates sign an agreement on how to accommodate the ' political competitors' in sharing public resources and defend the colonizers' interests while pretending to be political enemies at the same time.
If Kenyans want real change, Kenyans must stage a prison break.
Otherwise, slavery will not end!
#DrainTheSwamp
@NdindiNyoro No other engagement should supercede your work as an MP. How do you travel out of the country knowing such a crucial vote is coming up? Bure kabisa! Then resign!
