Speaking at former Senator Cleophas Malala’s home before attending the Malala Cup finals, Gachagua expressed his dissatisfaction with how the government has handled key issues affecting ordinary Kenyans.
“We were attacked with teargas by a police officer, but we continued with the meeting.
The people, the wananchi, stood firm and protected the event.
When people are desperate, they do desperate things, and this government has nothing to offer to the Kenyan people,” Gachagua stated.
He was referring to a recent event in Nyandarua where a thanksgiving ceremony for Shamata Ward MCA Gitau Njamba was interrupted by police using teargas.
Gachagua was among the leaders attending the gathering, and he recalled how the crowd reacted when the teargas canister went off just a few meters from where he was sitting.
Despite the chaos, Gachagua commended the local people for their support. "The meeting went on, and we were not intimidated.
Desperate governments try to stop events because they know they are failing the people," he added.
The former Deputy President also highlighted several issues that he believes the current government has failed to address, such as the rising cost of living, abductions, and economic mismanagement.
“There are so many questions this government cannot answer. Instead of offering solutions, they turn to violence and oppression,” he said.
Looking ahead, Gachagua hinted at a possible political realignment in the run-up to the 2027 elections.
He revealed that he is in talks with other leaders, including DAP-K Party leader Eugene Wamalwa, to work together towards what he described as “responsible leadership.”
"We must bring our people together. I’m doing my part, and Eugene is doing his,” Gachagua explained.
Eugene Wamalwa also shared his concerns about rising abductions, particularly of those critical of the government.
Meanwhile, Cleophas Malala, who hosted Gachagua, declared that he and his allies are now in the opposition.
He accused Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula of betraying their supporters.
