DP Gachagua asks Kenyans to ignore critics of government by the opposition adding that Ruto is working to revive the economy.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has assured Kenyans that the revival of the economy is on course and asked them to ignore the Opposition’s noise and criticism of the ongoing initiatives by the Government to rebuild the nation.
He said the economy is stable and out of danger, and Kenyans should not worry.
“We are working to rebuild our economy. Do not be misled by the Opposition’s noises. Even the late President Mwai Kibaki found a beaten economy and was fought and criticized by the Opposition at the beginning of his first term but he performed,” said Mr Gachagua on Sunday.
He told worshippers at Karatina PCEA Church in Nyeri County, that like President Ruto, President Kibaki faced similar criticism on taxation measures.
The Deputy President said the Azimio Coalition was painting the Government in a bad light despite the measures deployed to create jobs and rebuild the country’s economy.

“In 2004 and 2005 Kibaki was being fought because of taxes such as the Value Added Tax (VAT). People could not understand, but towards the end of the term, Kenyans appreciated it because he had been able to rebuild the economy. The same is happening today against President Ruto, we found a beaten economy. We started afresh and so far we are getting on well. The economy was in ICU, but it is recovering due to the hard work of the President. Things are getting better. The President and I are not asleep. We are doing the best and Kenya is rising rise,” said Mr Gachagua.
He enumerated achievements of the Kenya Kwanza administration such as the employment of 56,000 teachers, streamlining the cash trader program, reduction of fertilizer from Sh7,000 to Sh2,500, and the dropping of the price of maize flour.
He added that road contractors, who had left the site over lack of money, have started resuming work since the Ruto Administration has sourced the funds.
