Rigathi Gachagua Criticizes President Ruto, Calls for Honesty in Leadership
In a dramatic turn of events, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched scathing remarks against President William Ruto, calling for honesty in leadership. Speaking at a public event, Gachagua accused the Ruto-led administration of failing to deliver on key promises and misleading Kenyans.
“Before you talk about corruption, look at yourself in the mirror,” Gachagua said, directing his remarks at President Ruto. He went on to describe the government as “serikali ya uongo” (a government of lies), accusing it of deceiving the public with empty promises.
Unfulfilled Promises in Western Kenya
Gachagua cited the president’s pledge to construct 1,000 kilometers of roads in Western Kenya, a promise that, according to him, remains unfulfilled. Instead of working on the promised infrastructure, Ruto allegedly appeared in the region to launch a mere transformer, a move Gachagua dismissed as inadequate and symbolic of misplaced priorities.

The Deputy President’s remarks have sparked a heated debate, with many questioning the state of unity within the government. As tensions rise, Kenyans are left wondering about the future of the administration and whether such bold criticisms will lead to meaningful change.
