Gachagua’s Close Ally Mutahi Kahiga Explains Why DP Skipped President’s Event in Nyeri, Points Fingers At Ruto
Gachagua’s Close Ally Mutahi Kahiga has pointed an accusing finger at President Ruto, explicitly blaming the Head of State over Gachagua’s decision to skip the event.
“Let me tell you, President Ruto is the cause for that empty seat,” the Governor said.
The governor was responding to a question on whether the Deputy President would be able to get back into President Ruto’s fold following the recent rift between them.
According to Kahiga, he received a call from the Deputy President informing him that the two of them including the President would be visiting Nyeri, but they would first pass through Kirinyaga.
However, the President did not go to Kirinyaga and sped directly to Nyeri, leaving Gachagua waiting for him in Kirinyaga.
” I was called the night before, by the Deputy President, he told me they would be going with the President to Kirinyaga, and then come to Nyeri, so I was ready, only for me to see the President not go to Kirinyaga, but went to a church in Outering, in the morning.”
” Gachagua had already gone to Kirinyaga, to wait for the President and he was there waiting for the President.” the Governor clarified.
The Governor revealed that Ruto asked for Gachagua’s whereabouts and blamed the mishap on forgetting to communicate the early morning changes he had made.
