As President William Ruto prepares for his visit to Githunguri on Saturday, local MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has made it clear that the President should expect a tense reception.
In the days leading up to the visit, Wamuchomba has not held back in expressing her dissatisfaction with how Ruto’s government has handled both political and developmental issues in the area.
She has been outspoken about her concerns, and her criticisms have only grown louder as the day of the visit approaches.
Wamuchomba has publicly warned that Ruto will face a difficult crowd, with residents expected to voice their frustration over what they see as unfulfilled promises and political neglect.
The MP’s criticism is rooted in a sense of unmet expectations that many in her constituency feel have been ignored by the current administration.
As someone who has become known for her vocal opposition to the President, Wamuchomba has made it clear that the people of Githunguri are unhappy with the way they have been treated under Ruto’s leadership.
Her comments come at a time when political divisions within the Mt. Kenya region are becoming more pronounced.
Opposition to Ruto’s government is growing, and Wamuchomba’s statements suggest that this discontent is spreading.
She has hinted that protests could be one of the ways in which her constituents express their dissatisfaction. This is supported by recent social media videos showing residents chanting “Ruto Must Go,” a clear sign that many are gearing up for what could be a highly charged reception when the President arrives.

Wamuchomba’s remarks indicate that the people of Githunguri are ready to make their voices heard, and they will not shy away from doing so.
She has previously accused Ruto’s government of sidelining her and other local leaders, claiming that they have been left out of important discussions concerning the region.
According to Wamuchomba, the administration has failed to engage with local leaders on key issues, which has only worsened the sense of alienation among her constituents.
Her outspoken stance and willingness to challenge the President’s government have made Wamuchomba a significant figure in Githunguri.
With Ruto’s upcoming visit, it seems that the political tension in the area is only set to escalate.
The President will likely face a reception that will reflect the growing discontent in the region. The visit may not smooth over the existing rifts but could instead highlight the deepening divide between local leadership and the central government.
