Gachagua Breaks Silence, Sends Message to Ruto and MPs
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has promised to give President William Ruto space to work over the next three years.
He advised Ruto not to stop the progress made in the fight against illicit brews, particularly in the Mt Kenya region.
According to Gachagua, several residents from the Mt Kenya region recently approached him and lamented about the resurgence of the sale of illegal alcohol within the populous region.
“That is why I want to ask those who are currently in power about the work Rigathi Gachagua did in two years, fighting against illicit brew to save our children, even if you do not want me, let the work continue, to help our children, our sons were into alcohol and we did a lot of work to help them,” Gachagua asserted.
“I have begun witnessing a revival in the menace, people came to me today morning telling me that since I was ejected out of power, people have begun taking illicit brew. I want to ask those who have to opportunity to help Kenyans to eliminate illicit alcohol,” he added.
Gachagua further added that he was ready to grant President Ruto adequate space to fulfil the promises he made to Kenyans during the electioneering period.
“The speed they used to impeach me, let them use the same speed to pass the Coffee Bill. Let it be passed and be gazetted after presidential ascent. I want to urge Mt Kenya leaders who impeached me to use the same speed and efficiency to pass the Coffee Bill 2023 and Cooperative Bill 2023,” Gachagua commented.
“The motivation you had to wake up early in the morning and at night to remove me from the office, fight for that money to get to Ksh7 million from Ksh5 million so that we can pay our coffee farmers,” the former DP advised.
