Governor Kahiga Faces Consequences for Remarks; Gachagua Silent After Raila's Death - October 2025
Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has been removed from his position as Vice Chair of the Council of Governors (CoG) following what were described as his "reckless remarks." CoG Chair Ahmed Abdullahi announced the decision. The UDA party has also indicated it will discipline Kahiga over remarks he made related to the death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Separately, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has maintained an unusual silence and a low profile since Odinga's passing. Gachagua stayed away from the emotional farewell and burial, which has sparked questions from both allies and adversaries.
