Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has told the Western Region not to expect any more government appointments from the Kenya Kwanza government.
Responding to National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, who thanked President William Ruto for prioritizing the region in government appointments but didn’t shy to request more, he noted that the region has depleted their support ‘shares’ in the August 2022 General Elections.
Speaking on Saturday, Gachagua urged the region to allow other regions in the country to get an opportunity for plum state appointments.
“Wetangula that’s enough for now, lets give other people. You are okay, you have been rewarded in a commensurate manner with your very many shares. You can decide to increase your shares as we move ahead in 2027,” he stated.
Leaders from the region expressed their gratitude to President Ruto for nominating Andrew Mukiite Musangi as the Central Bank of Kenya Board Chairman.

They have also lauded President Ruto for appointing Renson Mulele as the next Director of Public Prosecution, viewing the appointments as a political reward for the Western region.
Gachagua said that he is the one who keeps the ‘government shares’ book in President William Ruto’s government.
He said this about how different countries will get developments on how they voted for Kenya Kwanza.
Additionally, he maintained his unpopular stand that government appointments and contracts are a preserve of those who voted for the Kenya Kwanza government.
He has maintained that the Kenya Kwanza government will reward its staunch supporters and those who propelled the current government into office.
