The Indomitable Spirit of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in the Fight Against Illicit Brew

When Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua takes the stage, be it in churches, public forums, or any gathering, there’s one battle he fights with unwavering passion: the war against illicit brew. This isn’t just a talking point for him; it’s a mission close to his heart, a crusade to protect the lives and futures of countless Kenyans.

Two years ago, as the current government came to power in 2022, the pervasive menace of illicit brew was a dark cloud hanging over the nation, especially in the Mt. Kenya region. Illicit alcohol was everywhere, wreaking havoc on families and communities. When President Ruto handed the reins of this daunting task to Deputy President Gachagua, many scoffed, including seasoned political analysts. They called it a suicide mission, pointing to the powerful and wealthy mafias behind these dangerous products. The risk to Gachagua’s political career was immense; taking on these formidable foes was akin to walking a tightrope over a pit of vipers.

But Gachagua isn’t just any politician; he’s a man driven by personal tragedy and an unwavering sense of duty. Having lost two of his brothers to the scourge of illicit brew, he has seen firsthand the devastation it brings. For him, this fight is deeply personal. He’s made it clear that if it means risking his political career to save an entire generation, then so be it. His resolve is nothing short of inspiring.

Despite the whispers of intimidation and underhanded tactics from some quarters, Deputy President Gachagua has pressed on with relentless determination. His efforts have not been in vain. The impact of his campaign against illicit brew has been significant, and it’s a testament to his tenacity and commitment. The tide is turning, and the grip of illicit alcohol on our communities is loosening.

We might look back on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's career and remember many things, but this crusade against illicit brew is shaping up to be his enduring legacy. It’s a legacy of courage, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of our nation.

So, to Deputy President Gachagua, I say this: keep fighting the good fight. Your efforts are not just commendable; they are life-saving. As a nation, we stand firmly behind you, cheering you on every step of the way. Your legacy is in the making, and it’s one we will proudly remember for generations to come.

A Political Fall: The Rise and Fall of Governor Kawira Mwangaza

 My heart goes out to the former Meru Governor, Hon. Kawira Mwangaza, who faced an untimely and unfortunate impeachment in the wee hours of 12:00 a.m. yesterday. It is almost as if the timing was meant to add insult to injury, as though her political opponents couldn’t wait to see her fall from grace. Being a woman in the male-dominated political landscape of Kenya, Kawira always had the odds stacked against her, especially after she emerged victorious against a Meru political giant in 2022. This wasn’t just her first rodeo with the Senate; it was her third impeachment hearing, having narrowly escaped the noose twice before. But this time, her political rope frayed under the weight of charges that, frankly, seem weaker than a cup of tea made with a used teabag.   The grounds for her impeachment, gross violation of the Constitution, gross misconduct, and abuse of office, read like a list of sins conjured up in a hurry by an eager prosecutor. Violating the Constitution by di...

The timing is suspicious, coming right after the opposition joined the government. It raises a plethora of questions. Are there hidden agendas at play? If these individuals are serious about impeachment, they should act quickly! The nation deserves to know where President Ruto stands regarding his loyal deputy and the commitments made during their campaign.
