Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has challenged mama Ngina Kenyatta to surrender part of the Kenyatta family land to Mau Mau fighters living in squalor.
While speaking during a meeting with Nyeri members of county assembly, the DP said mama Ngina should not only praise freedom fighters but make their lives comfortable by surrendering half of the Kenyatta family land to them.
“I saw yesterday some people recognizing Mau Mau and am a son of Mau Mau fighter and we welcome the move however they should know that even if it’s sixty years after independence they should surrender half of their land which was meant for them, but they stole to them,” Gachagua noted.
This comes after the former first lady hosted freedom fighters Muthoni Kirima at her Muthaiga home on Friday where she honored them and asked those to be pretending to be Mau Mau fighters to stop and instead seek peace.

Her utterances were interpreted as a direct attack on the deputy president who is on record on many occasions saying that he has nothing to fear since he is a son of a Mau Mau fighter.
Moreover, the National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah, who was present during the MCAs meeting in Nyeri stated that it was okay for Mama Ngina to seek peace but asked her to reign in retired president Uhuru Kenyatta whom he claimed was behind financing of Azimio protests.
“We are happy that our former first lady is preaching peace however she should tell her son to stop financing protests we know Raila Ondinga is a puppet whom he controls at will” Ichung’wah stated.
