This comes as President William Ruto and senior party figures grow increasingly frustrated with the juvenile politics and public clashes over resources during presidential visits, which have often overshadowed his developmental message.
An insider cited the chaotic Gatundu North visit, where a Sh50 million church donation was eclipsed by dramas involving MPs and fake congregants, as a tipping point.
Kariuki, the low profile chairman of the National Assembly’s Transport Committee, has recently gained unusual national visibility through road safety billboards from Mombasa to Kisumu.
While initially linked to gubernatorial ambitions in Kirinyaga, UDA MPs now claim this is part of a deliberate strategy to build his profile for a crucial organisational role.
He is being positioned to take charge of mobilisation resources and coordination, a task previously mired in controversy.
Several MPs have accused figures like Kimani Ichung’wah and allies of monopolising funds and employing a disrespectful, counter productive strategy that risks glorifying their main rival, Rigathi Gachagua.
The move signals a significant shift in approach for 2025.
With party leaders alarmed by scorched earth tactics against both external and internal rivals, the baggage free Kariuki is expected to bring a more unifying and effective method to UDA’s political organisation in its vital heartland.
