Insults, name-calling, body-shaming: Ruto, Gachagua in the battlefield: BRING IT ON
The Kenyan opposition group has been lost in the last months and now they have resorted to their X Accounts as their big political platform.
Opposition politics today is reduced to making loud noise and attacking President Ruto at funerals and then go to the nearest church and address some 50 people and then take all the pictures to Gachagua Twitter or Kalonzo Musyoka twitter and that is their plan to walk to State House in 2027. They know it is not working for them but that is their problem.
To get things going after being invisible Rigathi Gachagua decided to take the war to Ruto to a new level.
“How much is enough, Mr Ruto? Just how much is enough? Unataka pesa ngapi? Lakini uzuri hata akiwa na hio pesa yote halali. Si mmeona amekonda mpaka maskio imekuja juu?” He asked, as the crowd roared in laughter.
It started in Kiambu, where Gachagua had some descriptions to make of President Ruto.
“…We will make sure William Ruto you are not going to sleep for the next six months.. tutakuanika na hawa vijana wangu hawa si umeona vile amekonda mpaka masikio inafanya nini…”Gachagua stated.
Less than 24 hours later, President Ruto issued a rejoinder, slamming Gachagua directly.
“You’re claiming that I’ve cut weight. I’m intelligent enough to know when to cut weight, so that I can concentrate on what I want to do. I’m disciplined enough to know how much to eat, so I can stay alert….” he stated.
“Go check yourselves in the mirror. Check how you look. Your head is swollen, and your tummy is almost ripping the shirt apart. Tafuteni gym kwanza muende mfanye exercise kidogo. Na mpunguze kukula chakula mingi, ndio muwache kulala kwa mkutano, ata mnaharibu hewa mkiwa mmelala…” President Ruto told Gachagua
“If you want us to go down that road, I’m ready for you. 1% of my time, I’ll deal with you… 99% of my time, I will serve the people of Kenya,” Ruto vowed.
“…Mtu mwenye ako na pepo ya ukabila na chuki na kisirani anatuambia nini kama Wakenya,” Ruto indicated.
“You cold-blooded thief stealing from your own brother, stealing from orphans, stealing from widows and you want to give us a lecture unazunguka kwa barabara kwa mazishi eti unatuongelesha kitu gani mtu ambaye ameenda akatia mimba watoto wadogo kama rika ya mtoto wake halafu anaua hao watoto. You are a cold-blooded murderer and thief” President Ruto bluntly told Gachagua the United Opposition leader.
According to media reports, President Ruto accused Gachagua of impregnating university girls, young enough to be his own daughters, and murdering them to silence the scandals.
This is pretty dangerous stuff because there are names of young students allegedly killed by Gachagua. That is a life and death issue and not something to be taken lightly.
If Gachagua is involved in any such heinous acts including suspected murder of young girls what are the other opposition leaders working with him like Martha Karua and Kalonzo Musyoka going to do about that. Are they ready to accept all that and just go on like it means nothing to Kenyans. The country will find that out soon.
The names of the young women allegedly killed by Rigathi Gachagua are now out, but it would be unfair to publish those names except when the families do it, but there is no running away from this by Gachagua and the opposition leaders.
As we can see this is going to be part of Kenya politics in 2027 elections and it will be like nothing we have seen before in our country, but Kenyans will be ready for it and they will choose the government and the leaders they like. That is their right and nobody can take that away from them.
Not to be left of the fat versus the thin war Jubilee leader Fred Matiang’i jumped in vigorously.
Matiang’i responds to Ruto’s gym advice, urges him not to lower presidency to food debates
Jubilee Deputy Party Leader Fred Matiang’i has hit back at President William Ruto’s remarks about opposition leaders’ weight.
Speaking in Narok on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, during the opening of a Jubilee Party office, Matiang’i urged the Head of State not to reduce the presidency to debates about food and fitness.
“First of all sijui kwanini unasumbuka vile mimi nakula kwa sababu mimi sikuli kwa bibi yako, hujaniona nikienda kutafuta chakula bibi yako ama bibi yako. Mimi nakula Kisii sasa hiyo kama ndio inanisumbua,” stated Jubilee’s Fred Matiang’i.
“Rais wetu mimi namheshimu, na naheshimu ofisi yake. Ndio maana mimi sijaongea mambo yake mbeleni. Lakini leo ameanza sasa kukutusi sisi, watu wote wa opposition,” he said.
“Yaani, nchi yetu leo, six decades after independence, ati at a presidential campaign level, tuanze kuongea mambo ya kukula. Ati nani anakula zaidi, nani anakula wapi. I am doing this with a lot of pain.
Mtaiang’i defended his own dietary habits, joking about his visits to Kisii for local food, and questioned why Ruto seemed bothered by what he eats.
“First of all, mimi sijui kwanini unasumbuka vile mimi nakula, kwa sababu mimi sikuli kwa bibi yako. Hujaniona nikienda kutafuta chakula kwa bibi yako ama kwa watu wako. Mimi nakula ndizi kule Kisii kwetu na ugali. Sasa kama hiyo ndio inakusumbua, mbona mimi sijakuja kukuuliza vile wewe umekonda?” Matiang’i quipped.
“Tuko na heshima kubwa kwa hii nchi, na ile standard imeekwa na waliotangulia, Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel Moi, Mwai Kibaki na Uhuru Kenyatta; hiyo ndio standard tunataka kwa hiyo ofisi ya rais. Lakini sasa unataka kuibua mjadala wa kukula, ili sasa tuanze kusema ni nani amekula mashamba hapa Narok. Unataka tuongee hiyo kweli?” he said.
“Tumbo lisiloshiba linajulikana ni la nani. Unataka twende kwa huo mjadala badala ya kuzungumzia shida za wakenya. Pesa imepotea ya SHA, upororaji wa mali ya serikali unaendelea, unataka tuzungumzie hiyo kweli? We have really restrained ourselves.”
