Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua has made several political leaders uneasy with his hard-hitting utterances even as he seeks to assert himself as the Mt Kenya kingpin.

"There is no governor I cannot tell what they need to do and that is outlined in the Executive Order issued by the President, that I'm the bridge between the national and county governments," said Gachagua.
