Gachagua criticizes Ruto administration, calls for political realignment

Rigathi Gachagua breaks his silence on Livestock vaccination program

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched a fierce critique of President William Ruto’s administration, accusing it of desperation and neglecting the pressing needs of Kenyans.

Speaking to the press at former Senator Cleophas Malala’s home before attending the Malala Cup finals, Gachagua condemned the police’s use of teargas during a recent event, attributing it to the government’s fear of losing public support.

“A police officer threw teargas at us, but the meeting continued. Ordinary citizens protected the event, and nothing stopped us. Desperate people do desperate things, and this regime has nothing to offer the people of Kenya,” Gachagua stated. This incident occurred during a thanksgiving event for Shamata Ward MCA Gitau Njamba in Nyandarua, which descended into chaos, leaving several injured and police overwhelmed by an angry crowd.

Gachagua highlighted critical issues such as rising abductions, the high cost of living, and poor economic management, accusing the government of failing to provide solutions. “There are so many questions they cannot answer. Instead, they resort to desperate acts like trying to stop our meetings,” he said.

In addition, Gachagua hinted at plans for a political realignment ahead of the 2027 elections, revealing ongoing discussions with other leaders, including DAP-K Party leader Eugene Wamalwa, to create a framework for “responsible leadership.”

Wamalwa echoed these sentiments, noting that many have been abducted for expressing criticism of the government. Cleophas Malala, the host, declared their shift to the opposition, accusing Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula of betrayal. The call for unity among opposition leaders signals a potential shift in the political landscape as the 2027 elections approach.
