‘He was clueless!’ President Ruto sustains onslaught against former DP Gachagua

On the sixth and last day of his Western Kenya developmental tour, President William Ruto was in Bungoma and Busia counties where his strained relationship with his former deputy Rigathi Gachagua continued to play out.

The Head of State gave yet another reason why he had to oust a man who was his running mate at the ballot, with the promise of bettering the lives of Kenyans.

“He (Gachagua) doesn’t understand anything about the programs of the Republic of Kenya. He doesn’t understand anything about the UHC, he has no clue about housing, he has no clue about agriculture, he has no clue about our young people,” Ruto stated.

The former DP, who has in recent days tucked himself away in his rural Wamunyoro home, had on Thursday in an early morning TikTok engagement turned up the heat on his former boss, claiming that the Ruto administration had nothing to show Kenyans, more than two years after it came to power.

But Ruto shot back saying: “Alafu anasimama pale ati anataka kutupea lecture. Wewe unatupea lecture ya ujinga utupeleke wapi? Bure Kabisa, wale watu wa chuki, wale wa migawanyiko, wale wa mitego, wale wa mashares, hawana nafasi ya kuhubiri chuki katika taifa letu la Kenya.”

The President called on his critics to instead provide alternative solutions to problems ailing the nation as opposed to always being on the offensive.

“There is no community in Kenya that is going to be isolated for whatever reason. There is no region in Kenya that is not going to partake of the development of our nation. And that is my mission. And I will not be distracted, I will not be dissuaded and I will not be blackmailed and nobody is going to stand in the way,” he stated.

President Ruto further expressed optimism that Kenya’s candidate for the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairmanship Raila Odinga will clinch the seat.
