Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that one of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition’s principal faked sickness by presenting himself in Nairobi Hospital to avoid protests
In a scathing and ironical attack to the opposition members, Gachagua noted that the opposition leaders failed to participate in the demonstrations after they saw government was ready to combat them
“Ile kitu ya kushangaza hao watu wakati waliona kimeumana town walijificha mmoja alikimbia Nairobi Hospital akuwe admitted akasema awekwe maji kwa sababu si mgonjwa ndio ahepe maandamano
Mwingine ako kwa nyumba yake na mwingine ako kwa nyumba yake, alafu anatuma watoto wa wenyewe waende wakauwawe! Mbona wasitume watoto wao? Gachagua asked
He fired shorts at ODM leader Raila Odinga and Wiper Democratic Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka for not forcing their children to participate in the anti government protests
“Hao wawili, yule wa katikati na Mzee ya maandamano watoto yao wako Arusha katika Assembly ya East Africa Legislative Assembly [EALA] hawataki watoto wao wakienda kuandamana na jana alipoona maandamano hayajafaulu eti anatokea anasema amesimamisha saa kumi na moja!,” Second in command observed
“We want to tell mzee wa maandamano, there is no shortcut to the leadership, the only sure path is through the ballot.
Kwaivyo rais ukae kindete, huyo mzee angoje 2027 haiko mbali sana, hii ya kutafuta kuingia kwa serikali kupitia mlango ya nyuma hatutakubali,” Gachagua remarked
He further sought the church leaders and international community to stop forcing President William Ruto to dialogue with the opposition leader whom he termed as ‘criminal’
“I want to ask church leaders and international community not to force our very good President His Excellency William Ruto to sit and negotiate with a criminal, that can not happen in our government, Kenyans voted for one President and let him serve until after five years when we shall have another General Elections,”
