Honourable MP for Juja Mr. George Kiomburi has issued a dramatic ultimatum to the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), threatening to repossess furniture he previously donated to the party offices.
Speaking on Monday Jan 19, the visibly angry lawmaker said he had donated chairs and other furniture to the party in good faith but now wants them returned after allegedly being pushed out. Kiomburi claimed he had already issued a seven-day notice, with only four days remaining.
“I have already told them to bring me my seats. I gave them only seven days and now remaining four days. If they don’t comply, I am going to mobilise hundreds of Kiambu people to help me storm that office and carry back my furniture,” Kiomburi said.
The remarks have sparked reactions online, with many questioning the growing tensions within the party and the unusual nature of the threat.
Meanwhile, former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has also stirred political debate after launching a scathing attack on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, questioning his suitability to lead or influence a winning opposition coalition.
Addressing members of the media, Kuria argued that Gachagua’s leadership style and public language are alienating other communities, making it impossible for him to rally national support.
“With such a big-man mentality, Gachagua will sink the whole community because no other community is going to vote where he is,” Kuria said.
He cited a recent incident in Kangundo where Gachagua allegedly focused on vote numbers instead of respectfully engaging locals.
“Which community is going to work with Gachagua? A man who does not know how to talk respectfully. This man is full of shares in his head,” Kuria added.
Kuria also weighed in on the silence of former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala, suggesting that Malala and Eugene Wamalwa had already sensed political danger and were quietly distancing themselves from Gachagua.
According to Kuria, the two leaders are making early moves to avoid being dragged down, warning that Gachagua’s approach could sink the opposition’s chances in future elections.
Infact, Kuria has said there is no way a camp headed by Gachagua can win an election in 2027.
