Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has launched a blistering attack against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, explicitly ruling out any political aligned sympathy for the ousted leader.
Dismissing Gachagua’s current political maneuvers, Olekina characterized him as a political loser whose impeachment by Parliament permanently altered his standing in national governance.
The Senator expressed strong cynicism toward politicians currently rallying behind Gachagua, pointing out the irony that many within his current circle of vocal supporters were the very individuals who supported and voted for his removal from office.
According to Olekina, focusing on Gachagua’s grievances distracts from the core responsibilities of leadership, questioning why anyone should give weight to his political trajectory following a constitutional impeachment process.
Expanding on his critique, Olekina targeted the persistent influence of ethnic mobilization in national politics.
He argued that the country’s economic and governance challenges stem from persistent tribal divisions.
The lawmaker emphasized that true political maturity will only be realized when citizens and leaders view each other strictly as Kenyans, rather than defining their identity along ethnic lines such as Kikuyu, Maasai, or Luo.
Olekina stressed that dismantling tribalism is essential to ending dirty politics and eliminating retrogressive policies that hinder national progress.
Calling for a unified national identity, he urged leaders across the political spectrum to prioritize service delivery over identity-based political alignments.
The Senator’s hard-hitting remarks reflect ongoing ideological shifts within the political landscape as leaders debate national integration, anti-tribal governance, and the broader implications of Gachagua’s post-impeachment political positioning.
