DP Rigathi Gachagua refutes claims of purported fallout with President William Ruto over government shareholding remarks.
On Sunday, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua denied reports that there had been bad blood between him and President William Ruto as a result of the recent cabinet reorganization and a statement in which the president chastised his deputy for the infamous “shareholders” remark.
While speaking at a church service in Nandi County, DP Gachagua refuted rumours of a fall out reiterating the stance the country is in capable hands and being steered by individuals working in harmony.
“Our government led by William Ruto is steady and very stable, there is no problem and there will be none.
The president and I are not foolish, we are great friends and even if you hear us talking differently, it is still the same thing,” Gachagua clarified.
DP Gachagua further vowed to support the President in the next general elections, adding that he will rally Mt Kenya residents to vote for President William Ruto to the last man.
“I want to tell these people (opposition), straight in the face, please don’t waste your time, there will be no division in this government, President William Ruto and I talk the same language, we consult, we agree and we move on and the President is taking us in the right direction,” Gachagua said.

The DP also took a swipe at the media specifically The Standard Group accusing the media stable of targeting the government through what he described as unfair coverage.
Gachagua accused the media of still being in denial over the 2022 general election results.
“They are still looking for a way how this government can have a problem, they are using a microscope to try and get a problem,” Gachagua said.
The Deputy President also dismissed claims that the Kenya Kwanza government has failed to tackle the challenges Kenyans are facing.
“I want to bring everybody on board behind President William Ruto, when they hear that I want to unite the Mt Kenya region they blame me for not wanting to call for a handshake.”
