Looming Showdown as Gachagua Exposes Details of Secret WhatsApp Group Causing Division with Ruto: Speaking at Kirinyaga County, the Deputy President faulted certain close allies of President Ruto of trying to cause a rift in his relationship with the Head of State.
According to Gachagua, these leaders have formed a WhatsApp group named Project 22 aimed at hatching his removal from his current government role.
“I have only two bosses, President Ruto and the people of Kenya. The problem you are currently witnessing is that some people who are friends of the president also want to be my boss. Is it possible?” Gachagua questioned.
“Now they are trying to incite other leaders against me through a WhatsApp group called Project 22 by convincing them that I am a bad person,” he added.
DP Gachagua went ahead to reveal that attempts to remove him from his current position began way back in 2022 even before Ruto was sworn in as the 5th President of Kenya.
He narrated how the politicians would on several occasions visit the president’s residence in an attempt to convince Ruto to drop him as his running mate.
“When Ruto was looking for a running mate, he had many choices, there was a small group that was saying that if he made me his deputy, he would fail,” the DP narrated.
“They attempted to convince him but finally he made up his mind as a very seasoned politician and came to the conclusion that it was me to be his deputy,” he added.
He further stood his stance saying that his controversial one-man, one-shilling is not aimed at tribalism but to bring unity.
