Ruto’s Old Tweet To Gachagua Resurfaces Amid His Silence in Gachagua’s Impeachment
Gachagua was arrested at his Sagana home and dragged to court, then, William Ruto drummed up support for him even as the criminal justice system accused him of fraud and corruption.
The three-year old tweet, a supportive Ruto expresses his solidarity with Gachagua, terming the charges as ‘trumped up’ and blaming them on the ‘friendship’ the two shared then
Ruto wrote: “My bro Gachagua, I know you are strong because we knew this politically instigated trumped up charges were coming. This persecution on account of our friendship & political beliefs will come to an end. They have connections, networks, pedigree & godfathers BUT we have GOD our Father. ”
Due to his allegiance to Ruto, the Kenyatta administration made Gachagua a target and around July 2021, 15 detectives would raid Gachagua’s home, dramatically arresting him and driving him to Nairobi to face fraud charges.
Gachagua told the media then: “I have genuine fear that I will soon be arrested and charged with offences I do not know. My impending false arrest is based on my political standing. It will be malicious and devoid of merit to arrest me without any evidence linking me to any crime.”
This tweet has ignited a debate, especially after Gachagua claimed that his boss President William Ruto gave a nod to his impeachment motion.
Gachagua stated,” To the issue that this motion cannot find its way to the National Assembly without the President’s nod, that is true, it can’t. It has the President’s nod,”
