- Juja MP George Koimburi has received back the furniture he donated to the DCP offices
- The items were returned quietly after his fallout with the party
- Koimburi recently left DCP and rejoined UDA, citing leadership concerns
- DCP leaders dismissed his exit and denied wrongdoing
Juja MP George Koimburi has gotten back furniture he had earlier donated to the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) office in Kiambu, bringing a brief but public standoff to a calm end.
The desks and chairs were delivered to his home without resistance, just days after the MP warned he would personally collect them following his departure from the party.
The furniture row emerged soon after Koimburi cut ties with DCP and returned to the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
He announced the move last week, saying he was disappointed with the leadership style of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who now heads DCP.
While speaking during an interview on Hot 96 FM, Koimburi said the furniture had been bought using his own money and even delivered by himself.
He gave the party a seven-day deadline to return the items, warning that failure to do so would force him to go for them in person.
DCP officials moved fast to avoid escalation. The furniture was quietly loaded and taken to Koimburi’s residence, ending the matter without public scenes or legal battles.
Sources say the party chose a smooth handover to avoid unnecessary attention as it faces a delicate political season.
Koimburi, who stood by Gachagua after his impeachment last year, later accused him of promoting tribal politics and sidelining loyal supporters.
On their part, DCP leaders, including Secretary-General Hezron Obaga, accused the MP of seeking automatic nomination for the 2027 elections, something the party was unwilling to guarantee.
They also claimed Koimburi was working with President William Ruto’s camp to monitor their activities, accusations he has not publicly addressed.
The furniture saga quickly spread online, with clips of Koimburi’s interview circulating on social media.
Many users joked about the incident, calling it a sign of how personal political fallouts can become. Others viewed it as a reflection of deeper cracks within Mt Kenya politics.
Gachagua formed DCP after leaving UDA, aiming to consolidate support in central Kenya. While the party has gained ground, the exit of visible figures like Koimburi has raised questions about internal unity.
Political observers say defections are likely to increase as the 2027 General Election draws closer.
With the furniture issue settled, attention now turns back to Koimburi’s work in Juja, where residents expect progress on development projects rather than political drama.
DCP, meanwhile, says its Kiambu office will continue operating as usual, insisting the MP’s departure has not weakened the party.
For now, the matter appears closed, a small but telling episode in Kenya’s ever-shifting political landscape.
