Monday, May 20, 2024 - State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed has denied the existence of a feud between President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking during a press briefing, the spokesperson
maintained that the two leaders were working in harmony and redirected any
further questioning to Gachagua's communications teams.
Mohamed was responding to a journalist who queried the House
on the Hill over reports that the Head of State and his deputy were not on the
same page.
The journalist had raised concerns over the country's
leadership after Ruto jets out for a State Visit in the United States beginning
next week.
"Now that you asked about the President and the deputy
president, to my knowledge, there is no issue. The Deputy President's Office is
an office with all the capabilities and competencies," stated Mohamed.
"If you want to ask any question or find out anything
about the Deputy President, they have all the capabilities and you can find out
anything about the Deputy President, they have all the capabilities and you can
find whatever information you need there."
Over the weekend, the media was awash with unverified
reports that the two leaders had fallen out forcing DP to cut down on his
public appearances.
The doubts first surfaced after the second in command
skipped a State event during Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's State Visit to
Kenya.
The reports further indicated that the DP had skipped a
total of 11 state events without an explanation.
Political observers were also concerned with a lack of activity
on Gachagua's social media platforms with the last post having gone out on May
12.
