“I want to say here in front of everyone, we will not allow our son (Gachagua) to go through what Ruto went through in the hands of Uhuru Kenyatta. We will not allow our son to be mistreated. We will not,” he said
Kahiga insisted that Gachagua fought for the position he currently holds and the decision was made as a block and thus he deserves to be respected.
“Disrespect to Gachagua is disrespect to the mountain, and vice versa. Those trying to bring bad blood between the president and his deputy, we are warning you,” he continued
The governor’s statement follows allegations that the two leaders have fallen out, allegations that were denied by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei.
This was also fueled by Deputy Rigathi Gachagua’s silence and absent during key government functions.
