Gakuyo Real Estate and Ekeza Sacco Chairman David Kariuki Ngare popularly known as Gakuyo is among those who might be in the race come 2022.

The troubled businessman and preacher who has been in the news trying to salvage the falling Ekeza Sacco has blamed the current Governor Ferdinand Waititu and the former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo for his woes.

Speaking on Wednesday at a Kameme FM,  Gakuyo termed the two leaders as ’cowards and traitors who are enemy of the people and progress’. 

"There are demonstrations today planned by Kabogo to prevent members from receiving their dues so that they can tarnish my name because they have never caught me being involved in any vice”, he said.

“I want to urge them to come out and raise their issues directly not using demonstrations and other forums as I am not afraid to face them in the ballot”, Gakuyo added.

Ekeza is set to start issuing members their savings back with those with Sh5,000 and below being awarded today and the rest in monthly intervals.

The exercise will be taking place at Ekeza Sacco offices in Thika near Calvary Chosen Centre Church.

Gakuyo was among the those who contested for Kiambu governorship before teaming up with Waititu, Deputy Governor James Nyoro and John Mugwe to oust Kabogo out of office.
