Speaking during the funeral of Embakasi MP Benjamin
Gathiru’s father in Nyeri County, which was also attended by DP Gachagua, Sifuna
said even though he has no problem with Gachagua, the two are not friends.
"Deputy President, I cannot call myself your friend. We are not friends; today is the first time we have met. However, I want to tell you that I bear no ill will towards you.
"There is nothing that breeds animosity
between us,” affirmed Sifuna.
The ODM Party Secretary General noted that issues that were
pitting him against DP Gachagua were now decreasing.
Sifuna pointed out that he was happy to hear the Deputy
President say the Finance Act 2023 needs to be relooked and some issues sorted.
"I was delighted the other day when I heard you saying
that during the implementation of the finance bill last year, the citizens
themselves are raising concerns that the shoe is pinching them and they want us
to amend that tax law, especially for avocado farmers,” Sifuna told DP
Gachagua.
Further, the ODM Senator said he had issues with Gachagua
over his stance that those who overwhelmingly voted for the Kenya Kwanza regime
should benefit first.
"The other issue that was causing a difference is when you were saying people like Sifuna don't have shares in this country.
"But then
I heard you yourself saying that for us to build this country, every Kenyan
should feel that they are part of the Kenyan government,” Sifuna added.
