• They stated that no single individual has the authority to dictate the dissolution or future of other parties.
• The leaders emphasized that any political cooperation must be based on mutual respect and consultation, not coercion, and dismissed suggestions that Gachagua speaks for the entire Mt. Kenya region.

• Johnson Muthama has recently publicly criticized Kenya Kwanza figures, including Oscar Sudi, over remarks concerning Kalonzo Musyoka and the Lower Eastern region.
