It seems Kakamega County Senator Boni Khalwale believes that the reported conflicts among political leaders from the Mt Kenya region are not driven by genuine concern for their constituents or the nation but rather by personal interests, particularly access to government business opportunities.
This perspective suggests that the public disputes and disagreements among these leaders may be more about securing advantageous positions or benefits for themselves rather than addressing broader issues or advancing the interests of their constituents.
“Forget what these guys want Kenyans to believe. Their fight is nothing but pure scramble for access to government business opportunities,” Khalwale said.

It seems like there’s some tension brewing between Laikipia East Member of Parliament Mwangi Kiunjuri and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, both representing different perspectives on the political dynamics within the Mt. Kenya region.
Kiunjuri appears to be advocating for a more diplomatic approach, urging leaders from the region to leverage their positions within the government to push for development projects and equitable resource allocation through official channels rather than public grievances.
He emphasizes the importance of unity among Mount Kenya leaders and seeks to promote constructive dialogue on issues like the “One Man, One Vote, One Shilling” formula.
On the other hand, Deputy President Gachagua seems to be taking a more assertive stance, calling for unity among Mount Kenya leaders while accusing certain leaders from the Rift Valley of interfering in the region’s politics.
He advocates for the “One Man, One Vote, One Shilling” model and has been critical of perceived meddling by leaders aligned with President William Ruto.
The differing approaches of Kiunjuri and Gachagua reflect broader debates and power struggles within the Mt. Kenya region, highlighting the complexities of political dynamics and resource allocation in Kenyan politics.
