Ledama Olekina has urged former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to step away from political confrontations and focus on building his future outside public office.

In a message shared on his X account on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, the Narok senator appealed to Gachagua to release himself from the weight of past political battles, suggesting that lingering grievances could hinder his progress.

Call to Move On

Olekina’s remarks struck a conciliatory tone, encouraging the former deputy president to embrace a fresh start. He noted that holding onto past political conflicts may be counterproductive, especially at a time when new opportunities could be explored beyond the political arena.

“Dear Riggy G, you’ve been carrying pain from the past for too long, and it’s weighing you down. It’s time to let it go,” Olekina wrote.

Focus on a New Chapter

The senator advised Gachagua to redirect his energy toward personal growth and business ventures, framing it as a more productive path forward after his exit from high-level government.

Political Undertones

While the message appeared personal, it comes amid ongoing political tensions and public exchanges involving Gachagua, who has remained vocal on national issues since leaving office. Olekina’s statement adds to the broader conversation about the future direction of key political figures outside government.
