Speaking on Wednesday, August 5, at his Wamunyoro residence, Gachagua responded to remarks by Justin Muturi, Peter Munya and Lenny Kivuti, who had vowed not to dissolve their parties to join DCP, describing their position as “misguided.” “I saw yesterday my brothers Justin Muturi, Peter Munya and Lenny Kivuti were complaining that DCP has become too strong and that Riggy G does not want other political parties. “We want many political parties in Mt Kenya so that everyone can compete. On Tuesday, Muturi, Munya and Kivuti had accused Gachagua of sidelining other parties while building DCP. "We call upon Hon Gachagua to desist from divisive pronouncements and instead embrace structured dialogue, consultation and respectful engagement among all like-minded political parties,” Munya said.
