Speaking at the ODM Party headquarters
yesterday when he met the conveners of the Limuru III conference, Raila
endorsed Gachagua’s one man, one vote, one shilling revenue sharing formula
which has been a hot topic in Kenya currently.
According to Raila, Gachagua has finally seen
the light and has turned from Saul to Paul.
The former Premier also noted that Gachagua is
a member of the Kenya Kwanza government which is supporting his bid to become
the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson.
“I am working with everybody in this country,
nobody specifically, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is a member of the
government and on Wednesday the government pledged to support my bid for AU. He
has seen the light, he is a Saul who has become a Paul,” Raila remarked.
The opposition chief declared support for the
one man one vote one shilling formula, saying it would ensure fair distribution
of resources in the country.
Raila further said it was time for a
nationwide conversation on the distribution of resources.
“Some people don’t want to hear it but we want
to ensure that every Kenyan is equally treated that is why we are saying one
man one vote one shilling, I agree totally with this, I am not a populist, I
always talk my mind openly,” Raila stated.
Gachagua announced he would push for the
adoption of the one-man-one-shilling formula.
The second in command explained that the
formula is critical for development in the Mt Kenya region; something that is
causing him friction with Ruto.
