Gachagua Again Breaks Silence, Addresses Viral Claims of Banging A Table on President Ruto
Gachagua Again Breaks Silence: Speaking on Sunday during an interview, DP Gachagua refuted claims that he threatened President Ruto and banged the table against him in a meeting after Ruto denied Gachagua Ksh 8 Billion exit package.
He stated,”Mimi sina haja na benefits zozote. Leo niliona gazeti ikiandika mambo ya upuzi ati niligonga meza ya Rais ati nikidai shilingi milioni nane. Mimi sina haja na pesa. Kama ningetaka pesa kwa serikali ningepata kwa serikali iliyopita kwa sababu nilikuwa nawindwa kila siku na kutafutwa niwachane na President William Ruto niende ile pande ingine. Sina tamaa na pesa, sina mahitaji mengi, watoto wangu ni wakubwa, bibi yangu ni Pastor, mimi nimemaliza kuzaa na kulea. Mimi ni mtu ambaye naweka mbele mambo ya wananchi,”
Gachagua went ahead to explain that his only mission is to protect Mt. Kenya in every way possible.
He said,”Mimi nataka mlima iungane kwa sababu it is the only way for us to survive politically, economically and socially. Tukikosa kufanya namna hiyo hatutakuwa na relevance katika siasa ya Kenya, hatutakuwa kwa meza ya kugawa rasilimali za Kenya, ya kugawa uongozi wa Kenya,”
“Miaka tatu ni mbali kutoka sasa. Rais angali ako na nafasi ya kukaa na watu wa Mt Kenya vizuri, aheshimu viongozi wao, akae vizuri na sisi, atomize zile ahadi alipeana. Hao watu wa Mt Kenya ni watu wazuri na ni watu ambao wanaheshimu viongozi,” he added.
Gachagua further underscored that he has no bad blood with Former President Uhuru Kenyatta, highlighting that the hand shake was the cause of it all.
He stated,”Mimi nilisema mambo ya Uhuru Kenyatta niliomba msamaha nikasema kwamba tulipotoshwa tukafikiria Uhuru ndiye shida yetu na tukampiga sana na tukamwingilia na tukamuumiza. Tulikuwa tumeamini shida ya Uhuru ni kutuletea Raila na tukachukia Uhuru. Siku mkubwa wangu alishikana na Raila nikajiuliza kama tulichukia Uhuru kwa sababu ya kushikana na Raila, na tukasema tunataka Ruto hatutaki Raila. Ruto ameshikana na Raila, iko haja gani ya kuchukia Uhuru tena? Tukaona tulikosea Uhuru.”
