While dismissing claims that he demanded KSh 8 billion as his exit condition, the second in command stated that he was uninterested in material benefits and that his priority was serving Kenyans.
Gachagua said that if he were driven by money, he would have dumpedย Rutoย during former president Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime.
The DP stated that his children are already grown-ups. Hence, he does not need to be interested in accumulating wealth.
โI have no interest in any benefits or any money. If it is money I wanted, I would have been bought out by political opponents to part ways with President Ruto during the last regime, but I am not greedy.
