Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked Kenya Kwanza leaders to address concerns that the people have with the Ruto Administration.
Speaking during a church service at Deliverance Church International Kaplong, in Bomet County, the Deputy President called out leaders whom he said are displaying arrogance and opulence instead of working as per the manifesto of the Kenya Kwanza Administration.
Mr Gachagua added that his working relationship with President William Ruto is good and he will support the Head of State to the end.
“We must address issues making Kenyans uncomfortable with our Administration. Do not display opulence and arrogance to hungry people. Address them with humility and dignity, not chest-thumping,” he said.
The Deputy President said Kenyans are struggling and they need service.
As the Principal Assistant to the President, Mr Gachagua said he remains focused on supporting the Head of State.
“We are good friends; we have come from far together. We cannot allow intruders to come in between us (with the President). I will support him to the end,” he said.
The Deputy President thanked President Ruto for listening to the people in rejecting the Finance Bill 2024, adding that public input is important in administration.
He praised the President Ruto for providing an avenue for engagement of the Gen Z, under the multisectoral framework, which will ensure their opinions count in the national discourse of development.
“These youth cannot be ignored by anybody because they are part of our nation. We must listen to them,” the Deputy President said.
He urged MPs, to engage the people at the grassroots to understand their priorities better.
Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok asked leaders to support the President and his Deputy for the Kenya Kwanza Administration to deliver on its promises.
Deputy Governor Shadrack Rotich said Deputy President has delivered on tea and coffee subsector reforms, and asked him to do the same to the dairy subsector.
Kangema MP Peter Kihungi said Mt Kenya region is firmly behind President Ruto and his Deputy Gachagua.
On the other hand, Emurua Dikirr MP Johanna Ng’eno said fights between leaders will delay development, asking President Ruto and his Deputy to ensure discipline.
Some of the other leaders who accompanied the DP included Bomet County Deputy Shadrack Rotich, former Woman Representative Cecilia Ngetich, County Assembly Speaker Cosmas Korir, County Assembly Deputy Speaker Leonard Rotich, Deputy Majority leader Samoei Josiah, MCAs, led by Chemagel Ward Representative Dennis Busienei, Peter Rono (Kipsonoi Ward), Catherine Cheptoo (Nominated), Paul Chirchir aka Tarimbo of Kapsoit, among other leaders.
