Gachagua dismisses speculations of differences with President Ruto following a cabinet reshuffle that led to the transfer of the Foreign Affairs docket to Musalia Mudavadi.
Following the latest Cabinet shuffle, which raised rumors of simmering tension between the two, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has defended his relationship with President William Ruto.
Speaking to Inooro FM on Friday Gachagua stated that there is no power play between him and Mudavadi and that they converse and exchange thoughts on regular issues.
DP Gachagua said that his relationship with his boss has not changed as he continues to be entrusted with significant responsibilities in the government.
He pointed out that this shows Ruto’s appreciation for his significant contributions to delivering the Kenya Kwanza Manifesto.
“Ruto and I always keep talking, if you see the work he has given me, it’s a lot hence there’s no power play between Mudavadi and I. If I see an area is not going well, I approach him and we talk about these things,” he said.
“President William Ruto and I are joined at the hip. We talk on a daily basis. My relationship with the President is top-notch. He has mandated me with a great responsibility because he understands my output. We shall continue working for Kenyans until the end of our term.”
