Former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua’s close ally, Hon Cate Waruguru, has reacted following today’s swearing in of Prof Kithure Kindiki as the new deputy president of the republic of Kenya.
Taking to her social media accounts, Waruguru congratulated Rigathi Gachagua for standing with the people of Mt Kenya region up to the last minute of his leadership as the deputy president.
She highlighted some of the achievements that Gachagua made while serving as the deputy president. These includes fighting for the prices of tea, coffee and milk and battling powerful cartels in those sectors.
“H.E Rigathi Gachagua, your resilience stood resolute like a Mountain, despite relentless Storms, you remained determined in your mission. Known for championing Kenya’s heartbeat the Tea, Coffee & Milk Farmers, battling powerful cartels and supporting economic reforms that target systemic exploitation in the agricultural sector,” said Waruguru.
According to her, Gachagua was fought because of fighting for the common citizens. He was even labeled as the villager for proudly fighting for his people back at home, Mt Kenya.
“Standing firm on issues affecting the common people, drawing strength from the roots in the Mt. Kenya region, a loyalty that some have tried to weaponize against you. Having beared the Mantle of “VILLAGER” proudly, embracing your roots. They branded you as āTribalā and āPrimitive,ā meeting in shadowy retreats, crafted white propagandas, and even plotting for removal through Impeachment motion.”
She further claimed that MPs and senators were bribed to impeach Gachagua. She has been angered by the parliament’s decision to kick Gachagua out of government saying the two Houses are expected to protect fairness and integrity.
“Money flowed, swayed MPs and Senators to strike down a man with the people’s interest at heart. The Justice system stands at a crossroads. The very institutions meant to protect fairness and integrity, betrayed their purpose, with decisions swayed by powerful interests rather than guided by Truth and Equity,” she said.
She has announced that Gachagua’s connection with his people will remain unshakable. Click this link to read full statement by Hon Waruguru.
