Monday, December 2, 2024 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has maintained that he is a truthful man and would never do anything that would harm Kenyans.
Speaking during an interview
yesterday, Gachagua detailed how he used to evade President William Ruto during
the launch and implementation of government projects that he did not support.
According to Gachagua, some of the projects undertaken by Ruto forced him to devise means to avoid being associated with them.
He highlighted the Affordable
Housing project by the President as one of the unpopular areas where he dodged
his boss and mingled with the public whenever there was a state function on the
same.
''The President was accusing me
of not going to launch houses. I told him that people are not interested in
these houses. These citizens are the ones who have employed us on this job and
they are not interested,'' he added.
Interestingly, Gachagua narrated
that he would escape from the President during an event and go listen
to the public's view regarding the same project.
To achieve this, he revealed
that he would gauge how much time Ruto would take to make a speech during the
launch before he would embark on his hiding tactics.
''Many times I would go with the
President and he would start speaking on many issues for between 15 to 30
minutes depending on the mood he is in and depending on the response of the
crowd,'' added Gachagua.
''I would gauge how long he
would take while speaking because I had studied him. During this time I would
go and mix with the people. They would clearly say they are not interested.''
Gachagua stated that his reluctance to support certain government decisions led to the fallout with his boss.
