Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has urged the people of the Mount Kenya region to unite and shun divisive politics.
Gachagua was speaking during a fundraiser at Sacred Heart Endarasha Catholic Church, Kieni Constituency, Nyeri County on Sunday
The Deputy President said that a lot has been happening in Mount Kenya region urging leaders to avoid being used to fight others.
He said that Mount Kenya may risk losing a lot if they fail to unite and speak in one voice
"As the DP, I decided to speak less and work more for the last 10 months, as the spokesperson of the Kikuyu community, I'm ready to work for my people,"Gachagua said.
He urged political players to mind their own business noting that he is committed to serving under President William Ruto.
"A lot has been said about me, MPs have nothing to say about, they should mind about CDF and other services to the community," Gachagua said.
"You should never stab your brother in the back just because he is doing well, you should support him as all the glory will go back to the family "Gachagua said.
Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga alleged that there are leaders who are being used to fight the Deputy President.
Kahiga said that the Mount Kenya region will fully rally behind the DP. He further said Gachagua is being fought politically.
"We know all those who are being used to fight Gachagua and will not take it lightly, Gachagua must be respected," Kahiga said.
Naivasha MP Jane Kihara said that the Mount Kenya region risks losing a lot if they fail to follow Gachagua.
Kihara said that all that has been happening is political and some leaders have been compromised to fight Gachagua.
She said that President Ruto had a reason why he settled on Gachagua and not any other leader.
"We won't allow Gachagua to be disrespected, he is our leader and we will rally behind him," Kihara said.
