Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua extended a heartfelt Mashujaa Day message to Kenyans, sparking a wave of reactions from the public. In the midst of political uncertainty, Gachagua’s tweet emphasized national unity and divine blessings for the country.
“Happy Mashujaa Day dear Kenyans. God Bless our Nation.”
Mixed Reactions on X
Kenyans on X were quick to react to the Deputy President’s post, offering a range of opinions that reflected the divided political landscape. Some appreciated his calm and positive tone in the face of adversity, while others viewed the message as an attempt to divert attention from his impeachment.
@KenyaCitizen254 expressed support: “Despite everything, this is a message of unity. Mashujaa Day is for all of us. We need to remember our heroes and keep moving forward.”
@TruthTellerKE was less sympathetic: “Gachagua talking about blessings after being impeached? It’s ironic. Bless the nation by stepping aside.”
@PatriotMwangi commented: “Impeached, but still holding the fort. His Mashujaa Day message is a reminder that leadership is about serving the people, even in hard times.”
@MkenyaWote questioned the timing: “Really? ‘God Bless our Nation’ coming from the same man who just got impeached. Politics in Kenya is a circus.”
@FreedomFighter_KE added: “Politics aside, I appreciate Gachagua’s Mashujaa Day message. Let’s focus on the heroes of this nation, not the mess in politics.”
A Divided Public
Gachagua’s Mashujaa Day message, while brief and seemingly apolitical, comes at a critical moment in his political career. With the impeachment hanging over his head, many are questioning his future, but his supporters continue to rally behind him.
