Thursday, December 5, 2024 - A close ally of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has urged ex-Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to stop blaming President William Ruto for the government's failures.
Gachagua, who was impeached in October, condemned the
government on Sunday for making rushed and poor decisions, coercing and
blackmailing Kenyans, and turning a blind eye to public pushback.
In
an interview with NTV, Gachagua said he was not involved in the
conceptualization and roll-out of some of the unpopular policies such as the
dysfunctional transition from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) to the
Social Health Authority (SHA).
He
even threatened to 'expose' Ruto to Kenyans in due course.
Suna West MP Peter Masara said on Tuesday that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua should be held accountable for the government's failures, adding that he should return the money he earned in office if he wants to distance himself from its performance.
“The person who should be held accountable and responsible for the messes in government is Gachagua; he was the principal assistant to the President.
"The
country is too big and the President has so many responsibilities,” the MP told
Citizen TV’s Day Break program.
“Gachagua
was supposed to do his work and if he failed to, he should return even the
money he was earning as a deputy president if he was not able to do what was
expected of him.”

I hope these same people will maintain their marriage in the bread-based government after things fall apart and baba decides to vie in 2027 or just support Wanga as the candidate. For now, they are yapping from all corners and crying more than the bereaved. We saw CS energy with egg on his face after adani deals cancellation. Where I come from, we have a saying that :Gutitukaga uria gukiire.
