Gov’t Responds To Gachagua’s Remarks Accusing Ruto of Distributing Illict Alcohol in Mt Kenya To Reduce Voter Population
Government through The Ministry of Interior has dismissed Ex Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s controversial remarks accusing the government of deliberately targeting the Mt Kenya region residents with illicit alcohol distribution.
According to Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo, the former DP’s remarks are inflammatory and politically motivated.
Omollo detailed that the government does not produce, distribute or retail any alcoholic drinks and the problem of substance misuse affects people from all walks of life, including parents and children.
The PS therefore called on the former DP to file an official complaint and present the evidence he may hold to investigative or enforcement officers.
Speaking during a church service on Sunday, Gachagua, accused the Head of State for allegedly instructing PS Raymond Omollo to order the reopening of all alcohol stores including companies that manufacture the drinks.
