Sunday, June 30, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has responded to North Eastern leaders demanding his resignation after his attack on National Intelligence Service Director General Noordin Haji.
On Wednesday in Mombasa, Gachagua called for the NIS boss to
resign for not informing the President about the Gen-Z protests.
On Thursday, North Eastern leaders defended Haji, calling
for Gachagua's resignation for attacking NIS and Haji.
But speaking in Murang’a county on Saturday, Gachagua said he
will not resign since it is the Mt Kenya region that formed the Kenya Kwanza
Alliance government.
"Please, come slow. They are telling us that we should
leave this government. This is our government. From this region, we gave 47
percent.
"You cannot come and tell me how to do my job? My work is to be on the ground and advise the president.
"You come to join us, not
replace us," the DP stated.
He maintained that he would continue being truthful in his
job, explaining that he could not lie to his boss.
He added that he had to expose what was happening in
government to help the President govern well.
"The way to advise the President is truthfully and honestly.
"The best way to lead is to also listen to Kenyans who are our employers.
"I am sure things will stabilise soon," he added.
