Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has blasted National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi over coalition deals with President William Ruto.
According to the former Mathira Member of Parliament (MP), Mudavadi and Wetang’ula signed deals that benefited them and not the community.
“During my tour of Western Kenya last month with the team of the United Alternative Government, I told my cousins of the coalition agreement between Ruto, on one hand, and Moses Wetangula and Musalia Mudavadi, on the other hand,” Gachagua said.
“I took my cousins through the agreement and what had been negotiated and agreed upon. I explained to my cousins in detail that the only part of the agreement that had been honoured was what Wetangula and Musalia negotiated as individuals and their families,” he added.
Delayed projects
The DCP leader warned that all the negotiated projects are at risk of being ignored due to budgetary challenges.
“All that had been negotiated and agreed upon for the people had been ignored for the last four years and will not be implemented. This is because the last budget had been concluded, and all those projects are not funded. Members of parliament were mobilized to abuse me and label me a tribalist who was inciting the people,” he added.
“That is the benefit to Mr. Moses Wetangula and his immediate and extended family. The one for Mr. Mudavadi, I am sure, will follow. No wonder they are on an overdrive, pleading with my cousins to re-elect Ruto so that they and their families continue to eat.
“I will always stand with the truth and especially with my cousins, the Malembe nation.”
Since he was impeached, Gachagua has been the most vocal critic of the government against President Ruto and his close allies.
