Amisi cautions Gachagua against dragging citizens into his feud with Ruto
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has warned former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, urging him to avoid tribal incitement and to settle political differences with President William Ruto without involving ordinary Kenyans.
In a statement posted on his X account on Saturday, May 17, 2025, Amisi cautioned that Kenyans will not be divided or made to fight one another over tribal issues. He emphasised that such rhetoric is harmful and backwards-looking.
“Beating drums of war or inciteful utterances is retrogressive. No Kenyan will ever rise against their fellow Kenyan because of tribal nonsense. The leaders are free to square out and report to us the winner,” Amisi stated.
Adding;
“Kenyans are not stupid enough to hack each other, so that you can come to one table and negotiate for power sharing. Kenyans will remove Kasongo very peacefully because he deserves to be removed and not because of ethnic rivalry. #Gachagua hapo toka kabisa.“
Tribal politics
Just recently, the legislator cautioned politicians who are eyeing the presidency in the 2027 General Election against relying on tribal alliances to defeat President Ruto.
In a post dated Sunday, April 20, 2025, Amisi highlighted the importance of focusing on Kenya’s youth rather than tribal loyalties.
“If you are a presidential candidate and wish Ruto to go home, stop playing tribal arithmetics and focus on the United Voice and voters’ cards of the young people,” Amisi said.
He further pointed out that the current government has the financial resources to sway tribal kingpins and their followers, making ethnic-based coalitions a risky and unreliable strategy.
“A rogue government has enough money to buy any tribal kingpin and their supporters combined. You won’t win in this manner!” Amisi warned.
Amisi has been consistent in calling for a political approach centred on the youth. On April 15, 2025, he reminded politicians to take the voice of young Kenyans seriously. He noted that today’s youth, especially those from Generation Z, are no longer easily influenced by handouts or tribal loyalty as previous generations were.
“Don’t be lied to. #GenZ are not stupid enough to be divided or bought by a regime they don’t want. These are not our tribal forefathers,” Amisi remarked.
He added that the youth are eager for genuine change and are carefully evaluating presidential candidates. He warned that once young voters unite behind one candidate, that candidate is likely to win the election.
“Gen Z simply abhors old politics and the same old politicians with no ideas of change,” he added.
Amisi stressed that the youth’s support is a powerful force, and any leader who ignores this reality risks being rejected by the electorate.
“They are simply weighing candidates. Once they settle on one, you won’t defeat their candidate. If you stand against the wave of change and refuse to join, you will be avoided like plague. A candidate selected and supported by the youth of Kenya shall win. Period,” he said.
