Gachagua reveals the only reason that will make President Ruto intervene during the bipartisan talks
Gachagua reveals the only reason that will make President Ruto intervene during the bipartisan talks.
President William Ruto can only intervene in the bipartisan negotiations if a critical matter comes up, according to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Gachagua stated during a meeting with Muslim leaders over Iftar supper on Tuesday at KICC that the 14-member delegation from Kenya, Kwanza, and Azimio has been charged with handling all matters well.
He expressed confidence that the selected team would deliver its mandate.
“Let the politics be done in parliament. The National Assembly leader of the Majority Kimani Ichung’wah is equal to the task and when they will need our help, we will intervene. Ours is to focus on business and the economy,” said Gachagua.
In response to Azimio’s threats to return to the streets, Gachagua stated that the administration was prepared to cope with the protests, emphasizing that those who destroy property will face the law.
“If they return to the streets as they are threatening, they will not be able to step into the CBD and business centers such as Eastleigh. The responsibility of the government is to protect businesses. The government will not allow anybody to destroy property in this country,” he added.

This comes after Kenya Kwanza unveiled a seven-member team that will negotiate with their Azimio counterparts.
Kenya Kwanza’s team will be led by Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale. Other members include; Tharaka MP George Murugara, Nominated Senator Esther Okenyuri, Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse, and Eldas Member of Parliament Adan Keynan.
Azimio last week picked its team which constitutes Senator Ledama Ole Kina (Narok) and his Kitui counterpart, Enock Wambui as some of the lawmakers who will represent the opposition during the negotiations. Others are Millie Odhiambo (Suba North), David Pkosing (Pokot South), Otiende Amollo (Rarieda), and Amina Mnyanzai (Malindi).
Meanwhile, a showdown is expected in the bipartisan committee after the Kenya Kwanza team rejected some of the issues that were raised by Azimio including the opening of the server and the reinstatement of the former four commissioners led by Juliana Cherera.
