Renowned Kenyan content creator and comedian Wilson Muirani Gathoni, popularly known as Jaymo Ule Msee, has criticised the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua for suggesting that the United States President Donald Trump should intervene to arrest beneficiaries of social programs in Minnesota, the Venezuelan style.
Speaking on Monday, January 5, 2026, Jaymo Ule Msee argued that Gachagua’s comments reflect a mindset rooted in historical marginalisation narratives, particularly targeting communities that have increasingly become integral to Kenya’s social and economic fabric.
He noted that the Somali and other minority communities, once considered marginal, are now actively contributing to the economy and holding leadership positions in both government and the private sector.
“Unajua huuyu maze anabelong to the group that is still suffering from a superiority complex in Kenya. Alikuwa DO wakati wa Moi era, these are people who used to view and still view the Islamic community in Kenya as still marginalised. Kumbuka huyu ni jamaa walikuwa wana supply relief food hiyo time; he is someone who has viewed this community huko chini,” he noted.
“Now, haezi ishi na the reality that the Somali community is no longer marginalised; they are now contributing to the economy heavily. Huyu ni wale traditionalist, walikuwa wanafikiria uongozi na mali ni ya watu Fulani; these are people who made their money using the system.”
Ule Msee also criticised the call for foreign intervention, describing it as reminiscent of authoritarian approaches, and warned that such rhetoric could undermine trust among Kenya’s diverse communities.
He further urged young Kenyans not to be influenced by statements that seek to divide the country along ethnic or historical lines, adding that Kenya’s future relies on collaborative leadership and inclusive economic participation.
“When we start that kind of talk, inafanya our relationship with other communities to be bad na inaonekana tunajipenda. Unajua kikuyus have had three presidents, so kuna watu hawaelewi kwa nini other communities have top businessmen leading private-sector businesses and doing tangible work in the government offices they hold. Huyu ni mtu amekataa kukubali tangu atolewe kwa power ya kweamba power ilienda na anaharibia community yake juu yeye alishatengeneza mali yako,” he said.
“Vijana sahi economy yetu iutagrow kulingana na how we integrate with other communities. He should not be listened to na kijana yeyote ambaye anataka Kenya iende mbele.”
