Sunday, March 19, 2023 –Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has hit out at the former head of State Uhuru Kenyatta to stop fueling chaos in the country.
Speaking today Sunday March 19 during a church service, Gachagua blamed Mr. Kenyatta for the current happenings in the country including fueling mass action against the government of William Ruto.
“Uhuru this country was very nice to you. They made you a king. You left us with nothing. You are giving Raila and his people the little that is remaining to destroy. How ungrateful can you vbe?” posed Gachagua.
The DP was speaking this just days after Naivasha Member of Parliament, Jayne Kihara, called on former President Uhuru Kenyatta to declare his stance on the mass action set to take place in Nairobi on Monday, March 20, 2023.
Speaking in Kianyaga High School, Nyeri county where she had joined Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for an alumni meeting, the lawmaker said that, due to the fact that Uhuru still recognises Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga as his party leader, he should speak up on where he stands so that the country can understand the confussion.
“We must tell our former President Uhuru Kenyatta that if he is not in this maandamano thing he must come out, we have heard him say Raila Odinga is still his leader. If you have a hand in this protest, come out and tell us your position,” she remarked.
Her remarks were attributed to Uhuru’s confession that he only recognizes Raila Odinga’s leadership and no other.
“Mimi mnajua sasa nimestaafu si ni kweli? Mimi nimestaafu nko retired but I am not tired. Tunaelewana? I am retired but not? Ama ni namna gani? Na sasa mimi munajua ya kwamba party leader ni nani? (Crowd shouts ‘Raila Amolo Odinga’. Uhuru asked the crowd thrice who his party leader is) Namna hio (he acknowledged the crowd),” Uhuru said.
This statement did not sit well with a section of Kenya Kwanza-allied leaders who described it as demeaning the validly elected leadership of President William Ruto.
