“Hamwezi Nichezea Kama Ol Kalou” Betty Maina Sends Warning to Murang’a Residents Ahead 2027 Election

Former Cabinet Secretary Betty Maina has reportedly sent a strong political message to residents of Murang’a County, expressing confidence that voters in the region will make their own decisions in the upcoming 2027 General Election.

In remarks that have sparked political discussion, Maina appeared to acknowledge that a significant number of Murang’a residents may support candidates associated with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

“Najua mtachagua watu wa Gachagua. Saa hizi hamwezi nichezea kama Ol Kalou!” Maina was quoted as telling the residents.

Her remarks appear to reflect the growing political competition in the Mt Kenya region, where Gachagua has continued to build his political influence following his fallout with President William Ruto.

The reference to Ol Kalou is particularly significant given the recent by-election politics in which Gachagua’s political camp demonstrated its ability to mobilise voters against candidates associated with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

Maina’s statement could also be interpreted as a warning that politicians should not underestimate the political awareness and voting decisions of Murang’a residents.

With the 2027 General Election drawing closer, Murang’a County is increasingly becoming an important political battleground, as leaders aligned with different political camps seek to win the support of Mt Kenya voters.

Her latest remarks are likely to generate further debate over Gachagua’s influence and the direction Murang’a voters could take in the next General Election.
