Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua recently delivered a passionate address during a church service, where he criticized President William Ruto and his administration’s policies.
Gachagua’s remarks focused on issues affecting the Mount Kenya region, particularly the resurgence of illicit brews, which he claimed were undermining community progress.
He called on the government to prioritize policies that sustain the anti-alcohol efforts he spearheaded during his tenure.
Additionally, he urged the administration to accelerate the passage of key bills, such as the Coffee Bill, to support farmers in the region.
In a dramatic moment, Gachagua also reflected on his impeachment and expressed his willingness to give Ruto the space to fulfill election promises.
However, he did not shy away from criticizing the speed with which parliament removed him from office.
He challenged the same legislators to channel similar urgency toward addressing pressing issues like farmer support and community development.
This speech comes amid growing political tensions between Gachagua and Ruto, highlighting underlying fractures within Kenya Kwanza’s leadership.
While Gachagua reiterated his commitment to the welfare of Kenyans, his fiery tone underscored a deep sense of betrayal and a call for accountability from the current administration.
