During NewsGang show on Thursday, Gachuri distanced himself from the poster which insinuated he would quit his job to join the party linked with Deputy President William Ruto.
“To be clear I come from Kiambaa Constituency, specifically Banana Hill. I have been a son of this constituency for the last 39 years and I am extremely proud of my roots. We lost our MP Hon Paul Koinange, a man I deeply and sincerely respected. I condole with his family, relative and friends,” Gachuri clarified.
“Unfortunately, propagandists went on the overdrive and designed posters purporting I had declared interest in the parliamentary seat. How insensitive? For the avoidance of any doubt let me set from the onset that the poster is classical fake news created by kings and queens of fake news with the motive only they know. It should be dismissed with the content it deserves. In Banana Hill where I come from, we do not celebrate death, we celebrate and value life,” he added.

In all the years that Rahab Njambi and Shine Tani have been together, they have never had a joint art exhibition. At the Banana Hill Art Gallery, the couple is exhibiting 50 paintings.
Njambi has more than twice as many landscapes in the premiere exhibition. Nonetheless, it has been a while since Shine, who is the managing director of Banana Hill Gallery devoted himself to his painting.
