Gathoni Wamuchomba has lit a fire under national politics after accusing President William Ruto of reading a recycled script from the Mwai Kibaki era.
The Githunguri MP made the remarks in a sharp post moments after the President ended his State of the Nation address.
She said the tea earnings figure of Ksh 215 billion sounded like a relic from old archives rather than a reflection of current hardship faced by farmers.
