Speaking through a statement on Tuesday, Wambugu said the region risks losing out if it continues to waste time on emotional politics instead of clear plans.
He accused former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of misleading the people into believing that President William Ruto’s future should be discussed in terms of “WanTam” and “Tutam.”
According to Wambugu, such debates only create division and blind people from asking the right questions.
He questioned how the community will gain if leaders remain stuck in endless political slogans.
“This country is run on strategy, not chants,” he said.
“Whether Ruto is WanTam or Tutam, what matters is how Mount Kenya secures its space and ensures progress for our people.”
Wambugu further warned that politics is unpredictable, and nothing guarantees the outcome Gachagua is pushing for.
He explained that if things turn out differently and Ruto becomes “Tutam,” the region could be left stranded without a fallback plan.
He challenged professionals, business leaders, and intellectuals from the community to design a roadmap that guarantees Mount Kenya a share of national development regardless of who is in charge.
“We cannot afford to sit back and complain for seven years. We must plan and demand results,” he added.
Wambugu’s remarks come at a time when divisions in the region are widening, with some leaders aligning with Ruto while others rally behind Gachagua.
His call reflects growing concern that Mount Kenya may once again enter national politics without clear bargaining power.
He urged leaders to stop dwelling on personal grievances and instead unite around an agenda that benefits ordinary people.
“Our farmers, our youth, and our businesses need answers today, not empty slogans,” he concluded.
