Monday, January 20, 2025 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to do everything within his power to ensure that President William Ruto loses the 2027 General Election.
Speaking during a church service
at PCEA Emmanuel Matanya, Waguthiru Parish, Laikipia East, Laikipia County,
Gachagua accused Ruto of being a pathological liar, a character he said gave
him a lot of trouble while he served under him.
“As faithful Christian, you may
not be able to cope with a person who lies all the time. I was opposed to the
tendency of lying to people and that’s why I opted to leave,” Gachagua stated.
“This Mt Kenya Region. God
willing, I will lead this region into government, and a government that
respects them and works for them. And that is going to happen. We have the
numbers and all we need is to create unity and get the right friends,” he
added.
Gachagua said that the President
had the intention of breaking ranks with the Central region after he ordered
MPs from the Rift Valley to vote for a legislator from a different region for the
East Africa Legislative Assembly.
He narrated how a scuffle
erupted after he protested to Ruto for ordering MPs from his home area of Rift
Valley to vote for a person who is not from Mt Kenya region yet the community
had given him 47 per cent of the votes that made him president.
He stated that he opposed the
decision but the President dared him not to try to interfere with the decision.
The former Mathira MP regretted
that he was not able to detect Ruto’s motive early before he went all out to
drum up support for his presidency in Mt Kenya.
