Gachagua warns politicians against spreading false information about his relationship with President Ruto.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has cautioned politicians against spreading false information concerning his relationship with President William Ruto.
Speaking during a joint media interview with vernacular stations from the Mt Kenya region on Sunday, August 4 night, Gachagua said his working relationship with President Ruto is firm and geared towards transforming the country.
The DP noted that President Ruto even consulted him before making the final decision on the broad-based government that saw allies of Azimio leader Raila Odinga being nominated to the cabinet.
“There exists no bad blood between President Ruto and I. We have a good relationship and as his principal assistant he consults me on various issues, for instance on formation of the broad-based Government, before making the final decision,” said Gachagua.
He continued “He has assigned me many other mandates such as Chairing and Coordinating Inter-Governmental relations between the National Government and County Governments including Chairing the Inter-Governmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC).”
Gachagua said as the President’s Principal assistant he can’t contradict Ruto’s position adding that his duty is to serve Kenyans and execute the roles assigned to me by the Head of State.

At the same time, Gachagua urged political leaders to tone down the debate on the sharing of positions in the 2027 and 2032 elections and focus on the implementation of President Ruto’s manifesto.
“Kenyans want development not politics or show of opulence. The political leaders and public officials should focus on working for Kenyans so that the President can succeed in his development plan. Let us avoid the talk on 2027 and 2032 elections. Instead, the energy should be on discharging mandates of the current positions and offices they hold,” said Gachagua.
Further, he asked the youth to be patient with the President and allow him to address the grievances raised.
“Let us give the President a chance to work for Kenyans and implement his manifesto. The President has already committed to listening to their grievances,” he said.
