'Gachagua May Have poor Judgement But He's a Good Crowd Mobiliser' - Nelson Havi Claims

In a recent visit to Western Kenya, President William Ruto made a bold statement about corruption, accusing his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, of being chased away from the region due to corruption allegations. 

According to Ruto, the people of Western Kenya rejected Gachagua because of his involvement in corrupt activities. 

This statement quickly sparked a response from Gachagua, who didn’t hold back in defending himself.

During a public gathering, Gachagua responded to the accusations by questioning whether Ruto had the moral authority to talk about corruption. 

He strongly stated, “State House is the real center of corrupt activities.” 

These words caught the attention of many, as Gachagua appeared to shift the blame back to Ruto and his leadership.

The exchange between Ruto and Gachagua is part of an ongoing political drama that has intensified in recent months. 

Both leaders have been accused of corruption by different groups within the Kenyan public, and their rivalry has brought these allegations to the forefront of political discussions.

Ruto's remarks were aimed at Gachagua’s image in Western Kenya, a region that has seen significant political activity. 

By linking Gachagua to corruption, Ruto seemed to be sending a strong message about the standards of leadership his administration expects. 

However, Gachagua’s response reveals a deeper level of frustration, suggesting that the Deputy President is not ready to take the blame for the ongoing issues of corruption in the government.

The back-and-forth between Ruto and Gachagua has raised questions about the political landscape in Kenya. 

Many are left wondering whether these two leaders will continue to clash publicly or if they will find a way to reconcile. 

Corruption remains a significant issue in Kenyan politics, and this disagreement only highlights the challenges the country faces in addressing the problem.

Gachagua’s statement also reflects the growing dissatisfaction within the political elite about the management of corruption claims. 

With both Ruto and Gachagua involved in the ongoing dispute, it seems that the fight against corruption in Kenya is far from over.

Will they put their differences aside for the good of the country, or will their rivalry continue to fuel more divisions? Only time will tell.
