However, he said that instead of showing appreciation, Gachagua has chosen to spread what he termed as misleading narratives.
Sudi’s response came just two days after Gachagua appeared in a media interview on February 20, where he played an audio recording allegedly featuring Sudi.
In the clip, Sudi was heard making remarks that Gachagua described as insulting and threatening.
Gachagua used the recording to support his claims that he has faced intimidation from powerful individuals within government circles.
During the same interview, Gachagua also spoke about issues of corruption and alleged land grabbing, saying he has been targeted for speaking out.
The audio recording quickly went viral on social media, sparking heated debate among Kenyans.
Supporters of both leaders weighed in, with some calling for investigations while others urged the two politicians to settle their differences peacefully.
The fallout between the two leaders did not start this year. Their strained relationship can be traced back to mid-2024, when Gachagua cautioned Rift Valley politicians, including Sudi, against getting involved in Mount Kenya region politics.
At the time, Gachagua argued that leaders should focus on their own regions to avoid unnecessary political tension.
Sudi, however, strongly rejected that position. He responded firmly, saying no one had the authority to dictate where he could or could not go politically. “You cannot control where I go.
If we all stayed in our respective constituencies, then we could not be in government. I am not someone you can threaten,” Sudi said at the time.
Those remarks marked the beginning of a widening gap between the two once-close allies.
What was once seen as a solid political partnership has gradually turned into open disagreement, now playing out on public platforms.
