Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched a bold critique of government leaders, accusing them of misleading the public with endless falsehoods.
Speaking during a public gathering, Gachagua did not mince words as he questioned the integrity of those in leadership positions.
"You are running out of lies," Gachagua said. "You have lied to people until you’ve started believing in your own lies."
His statement was met with applause and laughter from the crowd, who seemed to resonate with his message.
The former Deputy President emphasized the importance of honesty and accountability, especially during tough economic times.
He accused some leaders of making empty promises while ordinary Kenyans struggle with high costs of living and unemployment.
“Kenyans are not fools,” he said firmly. “They can see what is happening.
They wake up every day to face hardships, and yet they are told things will improve. How can things improve when those in charge are busy deceiving them?”
Gachagua urged leaders to shift their focus from propaganda to real solutions.
He reminded them of their duty to serve the citizens and not to engage in self-serving agendas.
“Our people deserve truth and action, not stories. If you can’t deliver, at least don’t add lies to their burdens,” he declared.
His remarks come at a time when Kenyans are grappling with economic challenges, including rising food prices, unemployment, and a declining shilling.
Gachagua challenged leaders to address these issues instead of covering up failures with false narratives.
The former Deputy President’s comments have sparked mixed reactions.
While some leaders have criticized him for being confrontational, others have praised him for speaking the truth.
A section of the public applauded Gachagua for his boldness. “Finally, someone in leadership is telling it as it is,” a resident said.
“We need more leaders who will speak for the ordinary Kenyan.”
However, critics argue that such statements could escalate political tensions.
“This is not the time to point fingers. We need unity to solve our problems,” one leader remarked.
“Let us be truthful. Kenyans are tired of being deceived. It’s time for leaders to walk the talk and serve with integrity,” he concluded.
