The two lawmakers were later quoted saying that they belong to the ruling UDA party, sparking speculation that the opposition was losing key figures.
Addressing the issue, Gachagua said there was a deliberate narrative being pushed to create the impression that the United Opposition and DCP are falling apart.
“Hakuna mtu anatoka DCP,” he said firmly. According to him, those being linked to the opposition and then seen elsewhere were never genuine members in the first place.
He described such individuals as moles who were planted to cause confusion and weaken the opposition from within.
Gachagua said their actions only exposed them and made it clear where their loyalty truly lies.
“If someone shows up at State House and declares they belong to UDA, then they have made their choice clear,” he said.
The former DP said the opposition remains united and focused on its mission, despite attempts to distract it.
He noted that political intimidation, propaganda, and staged defections are old tactics that do not change the real issues affecting Kenyans.
Gachagua said Kenyans are more concerned about the high cost of living, lack of jobs, heavy taxes, and struggling businesses than political drama.
He added that the opposition is focused on speaking for the people and pushing for leadership that listens and delivers.
On the issue of loyalty, Gachagua said leaders must be honest with the people who elected them.
He argued that politics should not be about sneaking into meetings and sending mixed signals, but about standing firm on principles and being transparent with voters.
He also said that the United Opposition is made up of leaders who have chosen to walk together openly and honestly.
According to him, anyone who feels uncomfortable in that space is free to leave, but should not pretend to belong where they do not.
Gachagua maintained that such incidents will not weaken the opposition. Instead, he said they help clean house and strengthen unity among leaders who are truly committed to change.
