Mudavadi through his ANC party responds to claims of ‘cold war’ between him and DP Gachagua over government roles.
Amani National Congress Deputy Party Leader Margaret Ntongai has reacted to alleged differences between Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking to the press on Tuesday, January 17, Ntongai stated that the two leaders were on good terms and would never get into a fight.
She added that President William Ruto had outlined the respective responsibilities of the two leaders and that they would cooperate to support the Kenya Kwanza government.
“The Deputy President and the Prime Cabinet Secretary cannot engage in any kind of war because they want the government to succeed in its agenda for working for Kenyans.
The president gave them the mandate to work for the common Kenyan and support his leadership,” she explained.
She also issued a warning to parties and individuals who have fueled rumors that the DP and prime CS were at odds.

“Kenyans should stop those petty politics, especially some branches we can see that they are trying to bring some animosity between the two leaders. That should stop.
Let us give the ruling government ample time to work for Kenyans, those two are friends and that I know,” the ANC Deputy Party Leader added.
Claims of wrangles between the two leaders surfaced after the DP began reading the riot act to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja over his plans to relocate matatus from the city center.
It was interpreted as a nasty political duel between leaders from the two regions with analysts equating it to a supremacy battle between them.
In addition, The Executive Order on the review of the structure of the government on distinctive roles of the Deputy President and Prime Cabinet Secretary is said to have fuelled rumors about the differences.
In the recent order, Mudavadi was given more sweeping powers owing to his experience at the executive level of government.
