Gachagua warns Mt Kenya residents against believing Ruto's lies ahead of president's visit
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has cautioned Mt Kenya residents against believing President William Ruto’s promises when he visits the region next week.
Addressing the residents of Naivasha in Nakuru County on Saturday, March 29, Gachagua criticised the head of state for constantly lying to Kenyans.
According to the former DP, it was Ruto’s consistent lies that made it difficult for them to work together, adding that Ruto constantly coerced him to lie to Kenyans.
While commenting on Ruto’s upcoming tour in the Mt Kenya region, Gachagua revealed a well-hatched plan by senior government officials to bribe the residents to cheer the president.
Despite warning the residents against trusting the president, Gachagua called on the locals to accept the cash bribes but cautioned them against taking the money home.
“What has destroyed President Ruto’s government is lies; he is a liar, and that is the truth. He lies every time, and that is why we could not work together,” Gachagua alleged.
“Even now, he is preparing to visit this region with sacks of money. He is coming to lie, but I want to tell you to prepare and receive the money, but do not take it home,” he added.
Gachagua further called on the residents to demand more money since the head of state was only coming to waste their time by making fake promises.

He also warned the residents against using the money to invest and urged them to only use their money in market places and in paying their debt, claiming the money could attract bad luck.
“Standing to listen to lies should be from Ksh3000, let us agree, and women who cheer up should be given Ksh10,000, and clapping should be charged Ksh2000,” Gachagua commented.
“That money should not be taken home, it must be used in the marketplace because that money is cursed. It should not be mixed with the old cash,” he added.
Ruto is expected to commence his development tour of the Mt Kenya region in the first week of April, after a week of high-level consultations with regional leaders.
His tour will begin in Laikipia County, then to Meru, Kirinyaga, Nyandarua, Muranga, Tharaka Nithi, Embu County, and finally to Nyeri and Kiambu County on April 5.
