Veteran politician Maina Kamanda has likened former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to retired President Mwai Kibaki, praising his leadership style and approach to governance.
“Rigathi Gachagua is like Mwai Kibaki, he listens to the people and gets the work done,” Kamanda said.
Kamanda noted that Kibaki was widely known for his quiet but results-driven leadership, focusing more on development than political theatrics. By drawing the comparison, he suggested that Gachagua shares similar traits of listening to wananchi and prioritizing service delivery.
The remarks are likely to stir political debate, especially as leaders continue to position themselves ahead of the 2027 elections, with allies and critics weighing in on Gachagua’s influence and leadership record.
