DP Gachagua reiterates top government jobs will only go to those who Ruto’s presidential bid ( loyalists).
The government’s top jobs will continue to go to people who backed President William Ruto’s candidacy for office last year, according to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Although development is intended to benefit the entire nation, according to DP Gachagua, the President will only pick those who share his beliefs and not those who will work to undermine him.
While speaking to United Democratic Alliance county coordinators from all over the nation in Nairobi at a strategy meeting to organize for grassroots elections and popularize the party, Gachagua urged that the media refrain from asking questions about shareholding in government.
“Those who have questions should face me since I am the one who said that, which is the truth. How can anyone expect us to give sensitive jobs to people who did not believe in our agenda in the first place?” he said.
The deputy president said contrary to opinions that he was the one opposed to the President having a handshake with opposition leader Raila Odinga, Ruto was the one who is more strict about the matter.
He said the President believes the opposition should play its role of keeping the government in check.
Gachagua said Raila has been seeking photo opportunities with the President to “cool down” his supporters.
He said the opposition leader is welcome to all Presidential engagements across the country and that Kenya Kwanza did not have a problem with him.

The DP said the recent meetings in which Raila was seen with the President during athletics and soccer events in Nairobi last week were not planned.
“But when it comes to the running of government let it be known that at no point are we going to share power,” said Gachagua.
Gachagua said the August 2022 general election was won fairly with leaders from across the world recognizing Ruto’s win, which has been affirmed by the leaders visiting the country to meet the President.
Those who have issues (with that) should wait and try their luck in 2027, the DP said.
The Deputy President said the government is on a journey to improve the economy and asked Kenyans to trust the intervention measures.
“We are out to build UDA to be a serious political machine that will be around for 100 years. We are first establishing fully equipped offices in all counties and opening it up for more Kenyans to register as party members,” said Gachagua.
