Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's support for equitable allocation of revenue and electoral seats to his Mt Kenya backyard has stirred up the hornets' nest with some community leaders terming his declaration as "theatrics of a desperate political juggler."
Pundits and grassroots community leaders say that the DP was walking a political tightrope in UDA where he was being fought by a team of party leaders from Mt Kenya and was now trying to appease the Kikuyu community to rally behind him.
