Monday, December 13, 2021 –Mathira Constituency Member of Parliament Rigathi Gachagua is under public troll following his remarks on the high cost of living.
The MP took to his online platforms to rant about a possibility of making losses from his farming activities; a challenge he attributed to the ruling Jubilee government.
“I have inspected my crops from early morning, and after doing my mathematics, I have come to the conclusion that I will make a loss from my current crop due to exorbitant prices of fertilizer.
“DAP is Ksh5,200, CAN which I need for top dressing is Ksh4,200 while urea is Ksh6,000. This is the highest price of fertilizer ever in my thirty years of farming,” Gachagua stated.
A larger number of online users, however, reminded him that he was an elected MP who should be helping solve issues for the voters and not to lament helplessly.
“You were elected to represent and complain on behalf of them in parliament not lamenting on Facebook. But as usual, you have been busy campaigning and have no time to attend parliament, it’s a waste of time,” Joe Mithamo posted.
Another user by the name Charles Ombongi noted that Rigathi has been the greatest beneficiary of county tenders in Nyeri and therefore he should be the last man to purport to raise an alarm over high cost of living.
“Stop enjoying us, weren’t you the biggest broker of Nyeri County during your brother’s reign?” Charles Ombongi affirmed.
According to MP Gachagua, Uhuru Kenyatta’s leadership is the most failed in the history of this country.
He added that he had nothing to celebrate about during the last Jamhuri Day celebrations held at Uhuru Gardens, Nairobi on December 12.
