Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua Appeals to President Ruto Amid Allegations of Harassment
In a candid address, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has expressed deep concern over his treatment within the government, likening it to challenges faced by President William Ruto in the past. Speaking to reporters, Gachagua urged Ruto to allow him to fulfill his remaining three years in office, emphasizing his commitment to serving the people of Kenya.
Gachagua’s remarks come amid allegations that he has faced undue pressure from within the administration. “I’m asking President William Ruto—my boss—to honor his promise not to use the criminal justice system against his Deputy,” Gachagua stated, calling for Ruto to demonstrate goodwill and integrity.
The Deputy President also disclosed an incident involving his removal from a key WhatsApp group by the President’s private secretary, a move he interpreted as an attempt to sideline him. “If I’m not reinstated, it will be clear that the President is behind it,” he asserted, adding that transparency is essential in their working relationship.
Gachagua’s comments reflect mounting tensions within the administration and raise questions about unity as the government moves forward with its agenda. The Deputy President’s appeal underscores the importance of maintaining trust and collaboration at the highest levels of leadership in Kenya.
