They blame the administration, which they voted for overwhelmingly, for being neglectful about their agriculture and businesses mainly through the introduction of taxes that have led to dwindling economic fortunes.
The region, which first showed open defiance against Ruto five months ago during the Limuru III meeting in May, appears to be breaking away from the UDA with the firing of Gachagua just fuelling a deep-rooted hatred.
The majority of the residents wonder why the government would, in a record of less than two months’, purge Gachagua out of the office while the tea, coffee and milk sectors remain unattended two years down the line.
The attendees of the Limuru meeting formed Haki Coalition, which political observers say could be fashioned into an opposition outfit to advance the interests of the mountain region.
With Gachagua being out of government, he is likely to revive his call for ‘One Man One Vote One Shilling’ formula for sharing revenue.
Gachagua is most likely going to join forces with other anti-Ruto politicians including Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, and Jubilee party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni to establish a political alliance to compete against the Kenya Kwanza coalition.
