While overseeing an empowerment program in Kirinyaga County,
Gachagua accused certain close allies of Ruto of undermining his relationship
with the Head of State.
He claimed that these leaders had formed a WhatsApp group
named Project 22 intending to orchestrate his removal from his current
government role.
He further revealed instances where these politicians had
allegedly encouraged discord between him and the president.
“I have only two bosses, President Ruto and the people of Kenya.
"The problem you are currently witnessing is that some people who are
friends of the president also want to be my boss. Is it possible?” Gachagua
questioned.
"Now they are trying to incite other leaders against me
through a WhatsApp group called Project 22 by convincing them that I am a
bad person,” he added.
According to Gachagua, attempts to eject him from his
current position began way back in 2022 even before Ruto was sworn in as the
5th President of Kenya.
He narrated how the politicians would on several occasions
visit the president's residence in an attempt to convince Ruto to drop him as
his running mate.
"When Ruto was looking for a running mate, he had many
choices, there was a small group that was saying that if he made me his deputy,
he would fail," the DP narrated.
"They attempted to convince him but finally he
made up his mind as a very seasoned politician and came to the conclusion that
it was me to be his deputy.”
