Kahiga Apologizes to Kang’ata Over Remarks

Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has apologized to Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata, clarifying that his remarks were taken out of context. He explained that his intention was to encourage Kang’ata to support Mt Kenya’s political interests. Kahiga urged him to align with their faction backing former DP Rigathi Gachagua as the region’s leader while praising Kang’ata’s development efforts. The apology follows Kahiga’s challenge for Kang’ata to declare his political stance ahead of the 2027 elections, though Kang’ata maintained his focus on service delivery.
