Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has publicly criticized President William Ruto. He has criticized his associates for their backlash against his comments about governmental “shareholding.” On Monday, Gachagua held a press conference. He asserted that the concept of Kenya being likened to a company of shares came from Ruto himself.
Gachagua expressed confusion about his remarks causing discomfort. He noted that Ruto allegedly coined the phrase about shares in government. He emphasized that his comments were based on an agreement. Ruto and other political leaders within the Kenya Kwanza Alliance signed this agreement. He claims this agreement explicitly likens Kenya to a company.
“Nobody should ever accuse me of talking about shares; it is not me. My boss, President William Ruto, signed the agreement with other leaders. The agreement suggests that Kenya is like a company of shares,” Gachagua stated. He further clarified that Ruto’s signature on these agreements indicates a shared responsibility for the implications of such comparisons.
Gachagua accused Ruto and other leaders of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance. He claimed they pretend to be nationalists. However, they actually sign agreements that favor their specific regions. “That is my crime.
People want these things to be hidden so that they pretend to be nationalistic and say Rigathi Gachagua is tribal. But the people who appended these signatures should explain. They need to clarify why they were signing things for their regions only,” he remarked.
His statements have ignited discussions about the underlying political tensions within the Kenya Kwanza Alliance. They have also raised questions about the authenticity of their nationalistic claims in light of regional agreements. Gachagua’s remarks highlight the complexities of governance and representation in Kenyan politics, particularly in the context of tribalism and regionalism.
