Former DP Gachagua Issues Message ToGen Zs, The Church and Mt Kenya Residents As He Makes A Public Appearance.
The former deputy president has praised the Judiciary for its recent ruling ordering the government to compensate victims of forceful evictions in various slums of Nairobi among them Mathare, Gwa Kairu, Mukuru Kwa Ruben, and Kiamaiko slums due to the threat of flooding.
He stated,”I saw the courts ruled those people whose houses were demolished to be paid which means I was vindicated and won. I was happy with the courts because they ruled the government to compensate victims of evictions and demolitions,”
“President William Ruto and I told people that there will be no day their houses will be demolished without finding a place for them,” he said emphasising
When they took over the government and Gachagua was asked to spearhead the operations of evictions, he said he would not be able because he was a person of justice and truthfulness.
“How would I go and lead the demolitions when I was the one who said we will not demolish their houses?” he wondered.
Gachagua urged his supporters to continue maintaining silence, saying, “We are not fools, it is peace that we love. As a responsible leader, I would not want to speak utterances that would put our people in trouble. I want our people to stay in peace wherever they are,”
He further called on Gen Zs to obtain their Identification Cards (IDs) so that they can vote come 2027 general elections.
“The Mt Kenya region has a huge population. I want to ask the Gen Zs to register as voters. The numbers we have as a region is our stronghold. In the meantime, we remain silent,” said Gachagua.
