Wamuchomba: I’m yet to see Rift Valley delegation dining and dancing at State House
Githunguri Member of Parliament (MP) Gathoni Wamuchomba has questioned why delegations from Rift Valley are yet to be seen dining and dancing at State House, despite it being a home for all Kenyans.
In a statement on Sunday, August 31, 2025, Wamuchomba noted the absence of their representation in the social gatherings that have become associated with State House visits.

“Let me speak for my brothers and sisters from Liftivaalley. I am yet to see a dine and dance delegation in the State House, which is a house on the hill for all of us. Or is there no mursik in Nairobi? Happy Sunday,” she stated.
Her remarks come three days after President William Ruto hosted a delegation from Kiambu County at State House, Nairobi, on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, which included religious leaders, elected leaders, the business community, and youth, barely two weeks after Ruto hosted another delegation from Kisii and Nyamira counties.
The visit came just a week after the President held a central empowerment forum at the House on the Hill, attended by over 15,000 Nairobi residents.
Her concerns come just a week after Nyandarua Senator John Methu faulted President William Ruto for commissioning a series of development projects in Homa Bay, a county that overwhelmingly voted against him in the 2022 General Election.
Speaking in Mbeere on August 23, 2025, Methu openly questioned the President’s priorities, insisting that Mt. Kenya and other regions that had stood firmly with him deserved more attention than opposition strongholds.
“Mimi nataka niwaulize, nyinyi mliona last week William Ruto alikuwa Homa Bay? Alifungua huko miradi mingi sana ya maendeleo. Hao watu wa Homa Bay walichagua yeye? Sasa nyinyi mkiskia hao watu wanasema tukae kwa serikali ni wapumbavu au sio wapumbavu. “Tena, hata kama tunakaa kwa serikali, serikali ya kuua watu, tutakaa ndani?” Methu had posed.
Loosely interpreted as:
“I want to ask you, you all saw last week, President William Ruto was in Homa Bay launching many development projects. Did those people in Homa Bay vote for him? So those people saying that we should remain in government, are they stupid or not? And if we were to remain in government, would we stay in a government that is killing people?” he posed.
