Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has received strong criticism from the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party for his remarks in Kericho over the weekend.


According to Azimio leader Raila Odinga, President William Ruto's administration is exclusive. It is favouring only two regions that gave them a lopsided victory in the general election of 2022.

In response to DP Gachagua's statement on Saturday that those who voted for them are the largest shareholders in the national government and must get permit priority advantages.

“Hii serikali ni kampuni na ni ya shares, kuna wenye kampuni wale wako na shares mingi...kuna wale hawana. Nyinyi mliinvest kwa hii kampuni ya Ruto na Gachagua… mliamka mapema,” Gachagua said then.

"ndio watakuwa mbele huko ati wale walipiga kura. Shares are ati sisi sasa. Kama hukukuwa na sisi utakuwa kando kwanza, tutaangalia wewe. Wanafanya namna hiyo, na sio ni kama mzaha. Kila Mkenya anatoa Ushuru," the previous leader declared.


"Since it's a national institution, ikikusanya kodi za watu wa Lower Eastern na Azimio, hiyo kodi ipelekewe the people's president tufanye maendeleo huku kwetu," said Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua. "Kama hao wameamua ya kwamba hiyo kampuni

Mr Odinga also alleged that the Ruto administration had marginalized and disenfranchised groups without backing them.

Lakini kwa jamii zao wako tisa, wengine sita na kadhalika...Angalia kwa mawaziri, Mkamba ni wawili, Mjaluo mmoja. He said, "Ukienda kwa PSs, jamii ya President iko na makatibu karibu 12 na jamii kama Kisii hawana hata moja."
