The relationship between Ragwa and Kindiki has deteriorated after Kindiki said he will support Chuka Igambang'ombe MP Muthoni Njuki’s governor bid next year. Ragwa said rumour has it he is rooting for Kiambi because Kindiki does not support his re-election bid. Tharaka Nithi Governor Samuel Ragwa has denied endorsing Tharaka businessman Francis Kiambi for senator. Kiambi is deemed to be Ragwa’s project to cut Kindiki down to size so the senator can support his bid for governor. Speaking on Wednesday on Meru FM, he said he was not supporting the trader or his political adviser Ichenga Mugao against the incumbent Kithure Kindiki.
