In strongly worded statement that has sparked widespread debate, Wa Thangwa claimed that Ichung’wah used police force to suppress wananchi, alleging that the legislator publicly shared updates while security forces used teargas and live bullets on civilians.
According to the senator, such actions reflect not leadership but “a celebration of oppression,” a remark that has intensified political tensions in the region.
Wa Thangwa also defended his decision, alongside former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, to address residents from the highway instead of entering Kikuyu Town.
He described the move as a calculated strategy to avoid what he termed a planned police crackdown aimed at trapping leaders and supporters in chaos.
By changing tactics, he argued, they managed to protect lives while still reaching the people.
The senator did not hold back in his personal criticism of Ichung’wah, linking his rise to privilege and political connections.
He suggested that such a background has distanced the MP from the struggles of ordinary citizens, claiming that the events in Kikuyu exposed a leader disconnected from the people he represents.
In perhaps his most striking assertion, Wa Thangwa declared that without state backing and security forces, Ichung’wah would lack both influence and public support.
He challenged residents of Kiambu County to reflect on their leadership choices, urging them to assert their democratic rights peacefully and lawfully.
The remarks have triggered mixed reactions, with supporters backing Wa Thangwa’s stance while critics accuse him of escalating political divisions.
As tensions simmer, the unfolding rivalry signals deeper cracks within the region’s political leadership, setting the stage for a potentially volatile buildup to future electoral contests.
