Speaking during a public engagement, Gachagua suggested that he would be willing to collaborate with Sifuna, noting that political cooperation among leaders may be necessary as the country moves towards future elections.
However, he raised concern over what he described as the senator’s frequent use of air travel, advising him to reconsider his travel habits.
“I will work with Sifuna and his team, and I have warned him to stop traveling by aeroplane be like the rest of us,” Gachagua said.
He added that his caution was not based on financial considerations, but on what he described as security concerns.
“We do not avoid aeroplanes because we cannot afford them but because we might get killed,” he said.
Gachagua further emphasized that Sifuna is still young and has a significant political future ahead of him, stating that the country continues to need his leadership.
“He is young, and this country still needs him,” he added.
The remarks come amid ongoing political realignments and increasing engagement between leaders from different political formations as discussions around future alliances continue to take shape.
Gachagua, who has remained active in national politics following his exit from government, has in recent months been building his political base through his Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), while also reaching out to leaders across the political divide.
Senator Sifuna, on his part, has remained a key figure within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), where he continues to play a prominent role in party affairs and national political debates.
The comments by Gachagua are likely to spark political reactions given the unusual nature of his warning, especially the suggestion linking air travel to personal safety concerns.
