A fresh political storm has erupted after Mombasa Woman Representative Asha Hussein Mboko<\/span><\/span> launched a fierce verbal attack against former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua<\/span><\/span> during a charged public address that has since gone viral online.<\/p>\n

In the widely circulated clip, Mboko strongly condemned Gachagua while referencing the controversial death of a young woman who was allegedly targeted after drawing an image of President William Ruto<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cShame on them waliua msichana kwa kuchora picha ya Ruto, wewe Riggy G moto utakuchoma,\u201d Mboko declared emotionally, drawing loud cheers from sections of the crowd attending the event.<\/p>\n

The outspoken Orange Democratic Movement<\/span><\/span> legislator accused Gachagua and his allies of promoting hostility and political division through reckless rhetoric at a time when the country is already experiencing heightened political tension ahead of the 2027 General Election.<\/a><\/p>\n

Her remarks come amid escalating criticism by Gachagua against the Kenya Kwanza administration following his dramatic fallout with President Ruto. In recent months, the former deputy president has positioned himself as one of the government\u2019s most vocal critics, frequently accusing state agencies of intimidation, political persecution, and sidelining dissenting voices.<\/p>\n

Mboko, however, defended the Head of State and warned politicians against turning political rivalry into personal hatred capable of fueling violence and instability. She maintained that leaders should promote unity rather than deepen divisions through inflammatory public statements.<\/p>\n

The viral clip has sparked intense reactions across social media and political circles, with Kenyans sharply divided over Mboko\u2019s remarks. While some praised her for boldly defending the President, others criticized politicians from both rival camps for increasingly using emotionally charged language that could worsen the already tense political atmosphere.<\/a><\/p>\n

The exchange now adds fresh fuel to Kenya\u2019s rapidly intensifying political battles as rival factions continue early mobilization campaigns ahead of the 2027 succession contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
