Saturday,
May 17, 2025 - Former Deputy President
Rigathi Gachagua has opened up about why portraits of President William Ruto
still hang in his home, even after their dramatic political fallout.
In a candid interview on the Obinna
Show, Gachagua said the images now serve as a painful symbol of betrayal.
“The pictures are a constant
reminder of betrayal,” he said.
“When I see him, I remember how
he betrayed me in a vicious manner.”
“Now, when people come here, I
look at them closely. I look for possible betrayers because now I am very
careful.”
Gachagua played a central role in
rallying Mount Kenya support for Ruto during the 2022 General Elections,
helping deliver critical votes that secured Ruto’s presidency.
However, he was later sidelined
and politically humiliated.
According to Gachagua, Ruto
orchestrated a plan to remove him from power by engineering his impeachment
from the deputy presidency - a move he claims was both ruthless and unexpected,
given their history.
“After everything I did, he
plotted to get rid of me. That hurt me deeply,” he added.
