Speaking later in Murang’a County, Ichung’wah dismissed the hostile reception. He insisted that he remains committed to development and urged Mount Kenya residents to stay focused.
“We should not allow people making noise to instill fear in you. Let them make noise, but we are focused on development,” he declared.
Nyandarua Senator John Methu, a close ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, made strong allegations about the event. He claimed that the residents who heckled Ichung’wah had been paid only to remain silent during the president’s speech.
“People attended the rally because they were given money. They were only required to stay quiet for the president,” Methu alleged.

Ichung’wah’s troubles in Nyandarua are seen as part of a larger political battle within the Mount Kenya region. The area has witnessed increased tensions as factions align themselves with different power centers within the ruling coalition.
With the 2027 elections drawing closer, political allegiances are shifting, and leaders like Ichung’wah are facing growing scrutiny. Whether the heckling was a warning sign from the electorate or a political setup remains a key question.
