Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed claims that he has been undermining his boss President William Ruto.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua dismissed allegations outlined in the impeachment motion that he had amassed a substantial wealth portfolio, estimated at Sh5.2 billion.
"For the record, President William Ruto has never complained to me that I've undermined him. If he has conveyed that to Honorable Mutuse, I would like to know about it," Gachagua said, defending his actions. Despite the Cabinet's directive regarding the evictions, Gachagua raised concerns about the compensation offered to those affected, noting that individuals were being paid only Ksh 10,000.
Speculation about the state of Gachagua's relationship with Ruto has intensified, particularly since the President's silence following his return from the United Nations General Assembly on September 30, 2024. Gachagua faced impeachment threats during this period, coinciding with the motion being tabled in the National Assembly.
