“My only issue with this apology is that the people he described as non-shareholders are missing.
That statement has really cost our son son from murima. See, one can’t tell which individuals voted for a certain candidate or who did not at the ballot is secret. So by talking about shareholders and non-shareholders, he was generally referring to tribes that voted for them and those that did not. Meaning that those who did not had no right to government services or even public service positions.
Gachagua’s sentiments go against the very spirit of our constitution, and the Bill of Rights therein which gives every individual freedom of association. And Kenya being a democratic country, no individual or community should be discriminated against based on political association.
I believe this is the first and the most important thing that Gachagua should apologize for, unconditionally”, Pauline Njoroge said.
