Gachagua downplays accusation by Raila over convening night meetings to hatch a plot to counter the mass protests slated for Monday, March 27.
Speaking at the homecoming ceremony of Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu in Kisii on Friday, March 24, Gachagua dismissed the claims stating that the government would only deal with protestors in accordance with the law.
The Deputy President further accused the former Prime Minister of changing his plans to head to State House claiming that he had feared facing President William Ruto.
“He claimed he would go to State House, the President is waiting for him. Instead. (Instead), he went to the ground to destroy property… If you are afraid of meeting the President, do not destroy property on Monday, come see me at the office.
“He is now rebuking Kimani Ichung’wah, Ndindi Nyoro, and me because we have decided that property will not be destroyed. Now he is attacking us. We do not have the time, we are in the Government and follow the law, the police will deal with him,” he stated.

Mr. Gachagua challenged Raila to deal with him head-on instead of attacking his allies noting that he was ready to have a discussion.
“If you want to know the true colours of Ndindi Nyoro and Kimani Ichngu’wah ask Uhuru Kenyatta, he will tell you the real definition of these young men. Let him leave Nyoro and Ichung’wah alone because they are juniors. He should come for me,” he added.
The DP’s remarks came a day after Odinga made the allegations ahead of the upcoming mass protest rallies.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, March 23, Raila made the assertions that his group was informed of a plan by Gachagua and the aforementioned MPs to send a group of youth to disrupt the protests.
