‘Be serious with your work!’ ODM hits out at DP Gachagua after explosive interview
ODM slams DP Gachagua for focusing on politics instead of addressing issues affecting Kenyans
ODM slams DP Gachagua for focusing on politics instead of addressing issues affecting Kenyans.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party Chairperson Gladys Wanga on Saturday hit out at Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua following his controversial remarks against President Ruto’s administration.
While addressing members of the press in Kusumu, the Homa Bay Governor accused Gachagua of engaging in premature politics instead of addressing the challenges facing Kenyans.
According to Wanga, the deputy president’s interview on Citizen TV was a scheme to divert the attention of Kenyans from serious national matters.
“When anybody from the presidency comes out to address the country, Kenyans expect that they will be hearing from the deputy president about how they are dealing with these challenges that are facing Kenyans,” Wanga stated.
Wanga further alleged that Gachagua’s outrage against the government resulted from President William Ruto’s decision to appoint a section of opposition politicians to his administration.
The governor while taking a swipe at Gachagua faulted the DP for soaring political division which she claimed was detrimental to the country.

“The bitterness is arising from the fact that other people who are not considered shareholders by the deputy president have now come forward to participate in this company that is called Kenya,” Wanga alleged.
The DP was further accused of his habit of addressing members of the public in his vernacular despite being a symbol of national unity.
“Once he took the oath as the country’s deputy president, he ceased to be a man who can only converse with his people in his vernacular,” commented Rozza Buyu.
“His vernacular is for him when he is in the village. But when he talks, for instance in Marikiti, where there are tribes, 42 tribes doing business there, he shouldn’t break to the vernacular.”
The remarks by the ODM members come a day after the Deputy President took a swipe at President Ruto’s administration, citing attempts by a section of leaders of attempting to oust him.
Gachagua while addressing a rally in Nairobi Central Business District, noted that he had received information about plans by a section of MPs affiliated to Kenya kwanza to impeach him.
