Raila slams Deputy President Gachagua for likening the government of Kenya to a company with shareholders
Raila slams Deputy President Gachagua for likening the government of Kenya to a company with shareholders.
Speaking in Kitui on Tuesday, February 21, Odinga called out Gachagua and accused him of sidelining a section of Kenyans just because they did not vote for President William Ruto.
The Azimio leader pointed out that the second-in-statements command’s shouldn’t be dismissed because they represent the Kenya Kwanza government’s ambitions.
“There is a man who is said to be the DP who said that the government is like a company with shares and that those who voted for the government will get priority in the government.
“It was not just a joke because it is evident in the Cabinet and principal secretaries’ appointments. Those individuals want to divide our country on a tribal basis,” Odinga remarked.
Raila claimed service delivery across the country would be affected in line with Gachagua’s pronouncement.
He argued that if anything was to go buy, the government would be nothing without the people who were the enablers of the national institution.

“Every Kenyan pays tax. They collect money from all parts of the country yet when it comes to sharing and jobs, they become discriminative and this is not right,” the Azimio chief stated.
Gachagua’s remark, he said, was one of the reasons why the populace should support him in his campaign to force Ruto to resign from power.
Raila was speaking during the burial of the late Gabriel Wambua Mutua, the brother to his campaign spokesperson, Professor Makau Mutua.
On February 18, Gachagua maintained that only those who backed Ruto’s candidature in the August 2022 poll would would be given first priority.
Gachagua added that the governmenr appointments would be shared depending on what they brought to the table for the President to realise his victory.
