According to Gachagua, his remarks about shares stem from the agreement between the president and other political parties within the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
Gachagua said Ruto appended his signature to the agreement, which alluded toย Kenyaย being like a company of shares. “Nobody should ever accuse me of talking to me about shares; it is not me. It is my boss, President William Ruto, who upended his signature with other leaders that Kenya is like a company of shares. It is not me. And he did, he signed the agreements, sharing Kenya,” Gachagua said.
While reading out the Kenya Kwanza Alliance agreement, Gachagua said it clearly stated that shares that each party would get it if they won elections. Gachagua said it was unfair to accuse him of dividing the country when he was simply stating what was contained in the agreement.
“They have shared the Speaker, the Senate, the Deputy President, and the President. That’s what I’ve been saying. And then I’m being told that I’m dividing the country along ethnic lines. I did not upend his signature. I’m just being truthful,” he added.
Gachagua accused the president and other Kenya Kwanza Alliance leaders of pretending to be nationalists, yet they signed an agreement for their regions only.
“That is my crime. People want these things to be hidden so that they pretend to be nationalistic and say the Rigathi Gachagua is tribal. But the people who appended these signatures are the ones who should explain why they were signing things for their regions only,” the DP statedโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
