Monday, August 5, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sent a message to President William Ruto’s close lieutenants, who have frequently blamed former President Uhuru Kenyatta for everything wrong within the Kenya Kwanza Alliance regime.
Since the Kenya Kwanza Alliance
government captured power in 2022, some of Ruto's allies are still blaming Uhuru
for the ills bedeviling the country.
However, in a joint interview on
Sunday, August 4, Gachagu said the current administration cannot continue
blaming Uhuru for the state of the economy yet they've been in power for two years.
"Let President Uhuru Kenyatta and his family be respected.
"I have decided that I will be his defender moving forward.
"He did a lot for this country and even after we shamed him, he came to Kasarani and handed over power in broad daylight.
"We had been
saying he ruined the economy but we have been in power for two years now, let
us tell Kenyans something different, look at the mess we have in Nairobi yet
Uhuru left it in a very good state under NMS," Gachagua said.
Surprisingly, in the run-up to the 2022 general election, Gachagua was among those in the UDA party leading the attacks against Uhuru.
“Pack your belongings and go so
that the state lodge can be occupied by Deputy President William Ruto after
August 9,” Gachagua said in July 2022.
