In the post, Kahiga questioned how the official could retain a senior government position after reportedly delivering only 7,000 votes to President William Ruto in the election.
According to the message, Kahiga argued that several Cabinet positions were earned through strong political support and voter mobilization. He suggested that leaders who failed to deliver significant numbers should not be leading calls for the removal of others from government.
His remarks appeared to be directed at an ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, adding another chapter to the ongoing political rivalry within the ruling coalition.
The governor did not hold back, insisting that if certain leaders were demanding the dismissal of four Cabinet Secretaries, then the President should also consider removing those who had allegedly failed to contribute meaningfully to the administration's electoral success.
His comments quickly attracted attention on social media, with supporters and critics debating whether electoral performance should determine appointments to top government offices.
The exchange highlights the growing divisions among leaders who were once united during the campaign period.
Political observers believe such public disagreements could further expose cracks within the country's leadership as different factions position themselves ahead of future political contests.
As reactions continue to pour in, the debate has shifted beyond individual leaders to broader questions about loyalty, political accountability, and the criteria used in appointing senior government officials.
Whether the remarks will influence future political decisions remains uncertain, but they have undoubtedly intensified conversations about unity and leadership within the country's political landscape.
