Khalwale Attacks Gachagua as UDA Rift Widens
Senator Boni Khalwale of Kakamega has accused Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of interfering in Western affairs.
The Senator cautioned the DP on Monday, during the nationwide tree-planting exercise in Kakamega, against interfering with the sugar industry, upon which a significant number of regional residents rely.
Instead, Khalwale advised the DP to concentrate on issues affecting Mount Kenya, such as the coffee and tea industries, and to defer to legislators from the West regarding the sugar industry.
“It seems the Deputy President is under some illusion that because he is the second in command, he has the license to meddle in local politics to neutralize senior politicians,” he remarked.
Khalwale cautioned Gachagua against attempting to sway the political course of several Kenyan regions with financial means.
Additionally, the long-serving lawmaker reprimanded the deputy president, asserting that his years of service as a lawmaker grant him greater political expertise than himself.
“I have four times his experience in politics and he must respect our community. We are not a small community but one that comprises about 7 million people,” he added.

Additionally, Khalwale boasted that he possessed a greater number of academic credentials than Gachagua.
Additionally, he apprised the second in command that he should not anticipate succeeding President William Ruto in 2032, as that honor will be bestowed upon him by a Western politician.
“Deputy president listen to me, whether you like it or not, when Ruto retires as President, a Luhya will take up the mantle,” Khalwale stated.
Additionally, he advised senior executives against exploiting local politics for personal benefit.
Khalwale criticized Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa during his speech for allegedly funding thugs to assault Mumias East MP Peter Salasya on Sunday.
Khalwale urged leaders to conduct themselves with decorum, particularly when speaking in front of the public.
Additionally, he emphasized the importance of leaders valuing the viewpoints of their subordinates.
