Gachagua denies allegations of fall out with Ruto
On Sunday, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua denied reports that there had been a falling out between him and President William Ruto as a result of the most recent cabinet reorganization and a statement in which the latter chastised the former for his infamous “shareholders” remark.The DP Gachagua refuted rumours of a falling out between himself and President Ruto while speaking at a church service in Nandi County. He reiterated his belief that the country is being led by skilled people who get along with each other.
“Our government led by William Ruto is steady and very stable, there is no problem and there will be none.The President and I are not foolish, we are great friends and even if you hear us talking differently, it is still the same thing,” Gachagua clarified.
The DP further committed to back the President in the upcoming general elections, saying he would mobilize Mount Kenyans to support William Ruto until the very last vote.President William Ruto and I speak the same language; we confer, we agree, and we move on. The President is leading us in the correct direction, Gachagua added. “I want to tell these people (opposition) straight in the face, please don’t waste your time. There will be no division in this government.”
The deputy president emphatically reaffirmed his unwavering desire for additional funding and development for the regions that massively supported President Ruto in the face of criticism for his shareholders position.”I am unrepentant and demand that those who supported William Ruto wholeheartedly and believed in him have every right to greatly benefit from his government, and if that can cause a problem then so be it.”The DP also took a shot at the media, notably The Standard Group, charging that the media conglomerate was unfairly slanted against the government.Gachagua claimed that the media was still hiding the results of the 2022 general election.
“They are still looking for a way how this government can have a problem, they are using a microscope to try and get a problem,” Gachagua stated.The Kenya Kwanza government has been accused of failing to address the problems plaguing Kenyans, although the Deputy President refuted this charge as well.”I want to bring everybody on board behind President William Ruto, when they hear that I want to unite the Mt Kenya region they blame me for not wanting to call for a handshake.”
