Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua
has come out guns blazing to hit out at the opposition over remarks that they
do not recognize the current government.
The DP, in a defiant tone, told off
critics in the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party camp emphasizing that
the Kenya Kwanza government led by President William Ruto will continue to
govern the country unapologetically.
Gachagua, who spoke at the home of
the late former Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha’s home in
Nairobi on Saturday, insisted that he and his boss are duly elected leaders and
will not be cowed as they traverse the country to work for all citizens across
the political divide.
The DP further urged their
political opponents to accept the outcome of the August 2022 general elections
and accord the reigning government time to deliver for Kenyans.
“Ata mkisema hamtutambui, sisi
tutakuja tu. Ni lazima tutakuja kwa sababu kazi lazima iendelee. If you say you
don’t recognize us, how will you ask for help from the government…some of these
things don’t make sense,” Gachagua said.
“Elections are over, this is time
to work…and the President and I do not care where you voted, nobody should be
left behind. We will develop this country for everybody. That is why we spent
three days in Homa Bay, Siaya and Kisumu and we are planning to come to
Migori.”
DP Gachagua also urged the Mr.
Odinga-led opposition camp to focus on realigning themselves for the next polls
in 2027.
“We are the government for now, let
us work. Let everybody accept and move on. That is how life is. Tutapata nafasi
hapo mbele 2027, we go back to the field to contest, but for now, President
Ruto is the one responsible for the government that takes care of every
Kenyan,” he stated.
The sentiments by the DP targeted
Azimio chief Mr. Odinga and his camp who have been reiterating they do notrecognize President Ruto’s government.
“We do not, and will not recognise
the Kenya Kwanza regime and we consider the Kenya Kwanza government
illegitimate,” he said on Monday during a rally at the Kamukunji Grounds
in Nairobi.
