During the recent funeral of former minister James Wanjigi, his son, Jimmy Wanjigi—a former presidential hopeful—expressed a poignant sentiment that has sparked significant conversation. Speaking candidly, he reflected on the choices made by the Mount Kenya region in the 2022 general elections, specifically their decision not to support Raila Odinga.
Mutahi Kahiga, another prominent figure, shared his regret over the electoral outcome. Kahiga lamented that the country might have been in a better place had Raila been given the opportunity to lead. He questioned why Raila, despite his substantial political career and influence, was never voted in by the region.
Kahiga, who is part of the current government, didn't shy away from criticizing its performance. He emphasized that his political allegiance wouldn't prevent him from speaking out against the government's failures. His reflections highlight a sense of betrayal felt by some supporters who believe the current regime has not lived up to its promises.
