Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has sparked fresh political debate after launching a sharp attack on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during what was meant to be his special occasion.
In a strongly worded statement, Wamuchomba told Gachagua to “stop picking fights with women,” accusing him of repeatedly engaging in confrontations with female leaders. Her remarks quickly drew attention online, with supporters and critics weighing in on the exchange.
The outspoken MP appeared to question Gachagua’s leadership style, suggesting that targeting women in political disagreements reflects poorly on him. She did not hold back in her criticism, escalating tensions between the two leaders.
The remarks come amid ongoing political realignments and heightened rhetoric within the ruling coalition and allied camps. Observers say such public spats highlight the deep divisions currently shaping Kenya’s political landscape.
Supporters of Wamuchomba praised her for speaking out, while Gachagua’s allies dismissed the comments as unnecessary provocation on a day meant for celebration.
The incident adds to a growing list of confrontations between senior political figures, underscoring the increasingly heated tone of national politics.
