Martha Karua Responds to Gachagua’s Apology to Mama Ngina
Martha Karua, the leader of the Narc Kenya Party, has responded to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua following his public apologies to former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
The Azimio Principal praised the Second in Command, stating that the apology was a positive step towards healing the shattered relationship with the family of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
However, Karua, a vocal critic of the Kenya Kwanza administration, pointed out that the apology was insufficient.
She claimed that Gachagua’s expression of regret lacked the necessary ingredients for reconciliation, particularly after insulting someone near to the rank of mother.
In her remark, Karua hinted that Gachagua might have done more than just apologise on television in his attempt to reach out to Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
“A step in the right direction but falls short of the required “thinjo” to fully atone when you offend, nay insult your mother or elders,” Karua wrote
His comments came after Gachagua attempted to end his rivalry with the former first family following the 2022 campaign, during which Kenya Kwanza waged a smear campaign against them.
Gachagua swallowed his pride and begged Mama Ngina Kenyatta to accept their apologies for the disparaging remarks directed at them during that time.
“I am sorry for involving Mama Ngina Kenyatta in the last general elections politics. She is our mother. I therefore ask for forgiveness on behalf of our team for any inconvenience caused to her. I will never allow anyone to demean her or anyone from the region,” said Gachagua.
The former Mathira MP also urged Mt Kenya leaders to stop disrespecting former President Uhuru Kenyatta. He encouraged the region to build togetherness and promote inclusive growth.
Uhuru’s family has yet to reply to Gachagua’s apology.
