Rigathi Gachagua Unveils His New Party DCP [Full Speech]

Gachagua Speaks After Gunshots During His DCP Party Launch

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua officially launched the Democratic for the Citizens Party (DCP) at its national headquarters in Nairobi on May 15, 2025.

Speaking during the unveiling ceremony, Gachagua described DCP as a citizen-focused party driven by the slogan “Sikiliza Wakenya”, translating to “Listen to Kenyans”.

Here is Gachagua full speech.

MY DEAR COUNTRYMEN,
1. Today marks an important day in the history of politics and democracy in Kenya; We meet here in response to the STATE OF OUR NATION; politically, socially and economically. Indeed, today is a Kenyan moment.

2. Following the need for social change, economic transformation and political re-imagination of our nation, I bring forth my response to the call by millions of Kenyans from across our nation who have called on us to rise to the occasion for a voice of reason and a listening ear; a right they have been denied for far too long. 

3. Patriotic Kenyans, here at home and in diaspora, have spoken to us clearly towards reforms for a better Kenya. The current despotic regime has failed to listen to the voice of the Kenyan Citizen.

4. That is why our great nation is sinking under heavy and punitive taxation, poor public service delivery, skyrocketing cost of living, poor healthcare, bad policies and poor governance, insecurity, pathological lies among others.

5. Listening to the people of Kenya, who are supreme, is a calling. Leaders must make this calling a deliberate Choice and not a government favor. Active listening to the people is therapeutic, a solemn duty and the right thing to do at any given time.
6. Dear Kenyans, I have spent the last 6 months in my WAMUNYORO RESIDENCE listening carefully to Kenyans who voluntarily called on me in the village.

I have widely consulted Kenyans from all walks of life.I have also engaged in countless consultative meetings and debates with the opinion leaders, the religious leaders, the business community, Kenyans living in diaspora, the professionals, university and college students; I have held countless virtual meetings, I have held countless media interviews on both national, local and vernacular stations.

I have further engaged the young people on all social media platforms including, X and TIKTOK. One thing is clear Kenyans are bleeding. They have nobody to hear their cries.

7. Kenyans have confidently told us that the socioeconomic and political problems we face today as a people are as a result of leaders not listening to them. Kenyans have told us that they want to actively participate in the leadership and governance of their country. Kenyans have boldly told us that they have solutions to the problems we face today.

8. Kenyans have told us that their aspirations and their hope as a people united under one nation is under serious threat.

9. Kenyan have told us that the future of this great nation lies not only in the hands of the GEN-Zs and MILLENIALS but also in their potential that remains greatly untapped. They are knowledgeable, they are creative and they are harmless patriotic sons and daughters of our nation whose one of their major demands is to be listened to and included in leadership. That is why, today, among the top party officials we unveil here, a record 13 (Thirteen), are MILLENIALS AND GEN-Zs to lead the party.

10. Like-minded Kenyans have spoken to us and told us that they are tired of corruption; they are tired of abductions, state capture, organized state crime and violence.

11. Kenyans have told us that they need peaceful nation where the rule of law is respected, where education system work, where healthcare is not privilege, but a right.

12. Kenyans have told us that they need a Nation that is respected at the International Fora.

13. Kenyans have told us that they want to be LISTENED TO.

MY FELLOW CONTRYMEN,
14. Our nation needs a restoration of dignity in the spirit of the unfinished business of the multiparty democracy. Our sense of duty to patriotism and nationhood towards a new Kenya, where every citizen is listened to has come. My Countrymen, it is time to provide a conducive environment for peace, justice and speedy restoration of development, respect for the rule of law and human rights. It is time for liberation of our beloved country. It is time for our nation to take off socially, economically and politically. History will be kind to us for taking a bold move to listening to each other.

15. Kenyans told us boldly to form a political that will form an inclusive and a listening government. A government for the people and by the people.

16. Consequently, we took the challenge to a cause that many Kenyans believe in. I made a promise to you that in the month of May, 2025, I would unveil a new political party whose philosophy resonates with you. As you all know, I am a truthful-man and an honest man. I keep my word, and my promises. I detest lies We finally have a political party that belongs to all of us, where every Kenyan is treated equally.

17. Our new party is: DEMOCRACY FOR THE CITIZENS PARTY.

18. Our party slogan is SKIZA WAKENYA’.

19. OUR PARTY SYMBOL IS A LISTENING EAR.

20. Our party colors are NEON GREEN, RUFOUS RED AND WHITE.

21. We believe, as a party, every Kenyan must listen to by their leaders. This listening must not just be listening for every Kenyan irrespective of their faith, creed, age, tribe, age or color.

24. The DEMOCRACY FOR THE CITIZENS PARTY serves as the biggest political movement of our time in Africa since the year 1963. Under the guidance of the Party’s National Executive Council, I will spend the next 2 years with the people of the Republic of Kenya. I will travel to every corner of our Country; we will be in every village to listen to you. It is after this that we shall craft our manifesto based on your needs as the rightful people of this great nation.

25. We, the DCP Party are committed to the Respect for Human Rights and Freedoms, Integrity in leadership, Rule of law, social Justice and Fairness, Devolution of Power and
Resources, Equity, Equality and Inclusivity, Unity in Diversity, Accountability and Transparency, Citizens Effective Participation in Governance and Decision Making.

26. In the ideals of Democracy and Good Governance, our party structure is elaborate:
We have the following party organs:
i. National Delegates Convention -NDC
ii. National Governing Council – NGC
iii. National Executive Committee – NEC
iv. National Management Committee – NMC

Dear Kenyans,
27. So far, we have received thousands of aspirants from all corners of our Country who want to run for various elective positions. We welcome aspirants for various positions from Governors, Senators, Members of the National Assembly, Woman Representatives and Members of the County Assemblies.

28. I want to assure all aspirants who are willing to vie for any elective position in our Party, that we have no favorite candidates. This party belongs to the people of the Republic of Kenya.

29. I therefore, urge all aspirants to immediately register as Members of the party starting now.

30. It is the people of Kenya who will give us the candidates they would like to have as their leaders. In any case, we have, under Article 19 of our Party Constitution, a NATIONAL ELECTIONS BOARD (NEB) with well spelt out roles and duties regarding electoral conduct of the party. As such, the National Elections Board, shall, in consultations
with the National Executive Council organize, coordinate and supervise all Party Elections and nominations in accordance with the Party Nominations and Elections Rules and Procedures.

31. As I conclude, allow me to thank every Kenyan, who believes in the call for patriotism; every Kenyan who believes that we, the people, deserve better every day. That, we, the people, need to be respected. That, we deserve better services, and that our taxes must count.

32. MY DEAR COUNTRYMEN, MY PEOPLE, THE GREAT PEOPLE of the Republic of Kenya, the future of our nation remains promising. We will stop at nothing as a people towards a better Kenya.

I must, however, caution those who think that they can mess around with our country. Our message is clear; the people of Kenya have unfinished business with you; we have a date with you in AUGUST 2027; We have not forgotten what you did to our economy, we have not forgotten what you did to our young men and women in June 2024.

We have not forgotten the countless lies and promises you to make to us every day. We have not forgotten. We shall remind you in August 2027. Finally, I wish to announce that the National Executive Council of the DEMOCRACY FOR THE CITIZENS PARTY met on the 5th of May 2025. In accordance with the party constitution, ARTICLE 16(2)(2), they appointed the following interim party officials whose names have been submitted to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties for Gazettement.
