Murang’a Woman Representative Betty Maina has dismissed claims by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that she has fallen out with President William Ruto, describing the allegations as "cheap propaganda."
Maina said she remains committed to working with President Ruto and is not considering joining Gachagua’s political camp.
The lawmaker was responding to remarks allegedly made by Gachagua during a television interview, in which he suggested that she had developed differences with the President and was considering working with him politically.
In a statement shared on her Facebook page on Monday, July 27, 2026, Maina urged Gachagua to stop dragging her into his political disputes.
“Dear H.E. Rigathi Gachagua, EGH, I now want to caution you. You are a national leader looking for a national position. Play at your league,” Maina wrote.
She accused the former deputy president of unnecessarily involving her name in his political contest with President Ruto.
“Keep my name out of your mouth,” she said.
Maina also dismissed any suggestion that she was interested in aligning herself with Gachagua, saying she does not support his style of leadership.
“You are not an option. If it will cost me my position, so be it. Hell will never be my choice if provided in the menu,” she stated.
Her remarks come amid heightened political activity and shifting alliances as leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.
