Gachagua Calls for Unity and Efficiency in Government Representation and Legislative Action
During a recent speech, Gachagua acknowledged the concerns raised by his constituents regarding representation within the government.
Immediate Former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, has addressed pressing political issues, urging for a clear path forward in government representation and legislative efficiency, particularly concerning matters affecting the Mount Kenya region.
During a recent speech, Gachagua acknowledged the concerns raised by his constituents regarding representation within the government.
He reassured them by stating, “I have received calls from many people asking who will represent our people in government. Don’t worry. We are in talks, and when the time comes, I will provide the direction.”
This statement reflects Gachagua’s commitment to addressing the region’s concerns amidst political changes and uncertainty. It suggests that discussions are ongoing at higher levels of government, and he aims to secure a seat at the table for those from Mount Kenya.
In addition to his reassurance on representation, Gachagua made a pointed call to Members of Parliament (MPs) from Mount Kenya, emphasizing the need for rapid legislative action on issues that impact the region’s economic wellbeing.
Specifically, he highlighted the pending Coffee Bill 2023 and Cooperative Bill 2023, urging MPs to demonstrate the same efficiency that was shown during the recent impeachment motion against him.
“I want to ask our MPs, especially from Mt. Kenya, [to show] the same speed and efficiency that you used in the National Assembly to impeach me. Use the same to pass the Coffee Bill 2023 and Cooperative Bill 2023 to become law,” he stated.
These bills are critical for Mount Kenya, where coffee farming and cooperative societies play a pivotal role in the local economy.
The Coffee Bill aims to address long-standing challenges in the coffee industry, such as pricing and market regulation, while the Cooperative Bill seeks to empower cooperative societies, offering better financial support and governance structures for the community.
Gachagua’s remarks underscore a dual commitment to both representation and economic development.
By prioritizing these bills, he seeks to bring tangible benefits to the people of Mount Kenya, who have historically relied on coffee farming and cooperative societies for their livelihood.
His reference to the impeachment motion, however, reflects an undercurrent of political tension, implying a need for unity and focus on development rather than political maneuvering.
In conclusion, Rigathi Gachagua’s statements reveal his intent to both reassure his constituents and challenge his fellow leaders to act swiftly on matters that directly impact the region.
His focus on the Coffee Bill and Cooperative Bill is a call to action for lawmakers to work collaboratively for the common good.
As talks continue, all eyes remain on Gachagua to see how he will navigate these political waters and secure Mount Kenya’s interests within the government.
