He should stop lying. He told me to give him two weeks and even informed his people who are in charge of matatu stages that I had a court order to have the matatus back,” she noted.

The MP stated how she was left with no other choice but to report the matter to Gachagua.

“After I left the office even the few matatus that had been left on stage were ordered to leave.

That’s when I went to DP Gachagua because I saw that Sakaja was not giving me an ear. You have seen how they have been attacking each other,” she uttered.

Wamuchomba added that she would no longer see eye to an eye with Sakaja as he was making decisions without thinking about the impact on the people.

She noted that she was ready to fight for her people in every way as Nairobi is a city for every Kenyan to carry out business.

“We will fight. If he has decided to remove Githunguri matatus from CBD he should not replace them with others. Are we this foolish? Nairobi is a capital city for everyone it does not belong to him,” she noted.

Following Sakaja’s directive, Gachagua made it Gachagua made it clear that he could not allow him to carry out his plan.

“We need to respect all businesses, and I want to tell all business people to continue working, the William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua government will not allow anyone to destroy any business,” he announced.
