Mathira lawmaker Rigathi Gachagua has predicted tough days ahead for Mt Kenya politicians who might be planning to join hands with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Some area politicians have since hinted at working with Raila in the 2022 polls, among them Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and nominated MP Maina Kamanda.
Gachagua, a strong anti-Raila crusader, is of the opinion that Raila is a hard-sell in the region politically, and those thinking that they can sell him there are most likely misled.
"I don't know which Central Kenya you're talking about now. Selling Raila in Mt Kenya is like selling a pig in a mosque," he said in an interview on K24 on Sunday night.
Waiguru has even claimed that the region is ready to work with Raila, after his 2018 truce with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
About his opposition to Raila working with Uhuru, the lawmaker said that he fears that Raila could be up to no good, judging by his dark political history.
The close ally of Deputy President William Ruto made it clear that though he trusts Uhuru, he doesn't trust the former Prime Minister, having been in politics for long enough.
"We are in politics and history is important. I was in the succession from one-party state. I was in Mwai Kibaki succession. I trust Uhuru Kenyatta. I don't trust Raila Odinga," he stated.
Gachagua is among Mt Kenya politicians who have continued attacking Raila, as well as bashing the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) founded by him and Uhuru after their handshake.
Speaking at the Sagana State Lodge on Friday, Uhuru deemed chances of his unity with Raila resulting in a political pact, stating that they are only united to bring about national peace.
