“His PAs and bloggers want to tell me what to do. I cannot allow people who hang around him to think they’re my boss. This group criticized me during the pre-election debate, saying I didn’t know English or how to dress. The criticism was so intense that the president called me because he was concerned. I assured him he made the right decision. Nobody suffered more than me while I stood with the president” – Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua (15.06.2024)
What goes around, comes back around. The tides are turning and the wheelbarrows aren’t sufficient. Neither is the stories of supporting and helping the hustlers. The time of friendly fire and tussle within the ranks are beginning to happen.
There is possible cracks in the Kenya Kwanza Government. If not… everything aren’t all shiny around President William Ruto. We know Ruto is busy attending ceremonies, conferences and whatnot abroad. His barely at home and only for the festivities. He isn’t seeing things day-to-day and only getting the cliff-notes. That’s why others are carrying the weight and doing the heavy lifting.
That’s maybe Riggy G who has to cover and takeover power when Ruto is on international and bilateral meetings overseas. Today is the first time other Cabinet Secretaries are speaking of impeaching the DP. The first time another CS calls him a toad.
That happens because of the speeches and the uttering of the DP. He spoke his peace and what he deemed fit. It might not be all in good faith, but he has himself been mocked and ridiculed. So, who can blame him for retaliating back?
Riggy G is the second in command and the next in succession. That’s why Ruto picked him. He maybe thought he would get a mull and silent partner in Gachagua. As Gachagua isn’t as savvy or seasoned politician as Ruto himself. However, as many might say… underestimated and he might sway more than people imagine.
The ones saying he should step down or be more silent. Well, he is a man of higher rank and has the second office of the Republic. The one who knows how lonely and how you can be outsmarted in this office is Ruto. The current President knows the price of loyalty and what it costs to be a poster boy for the government, but with no real power. That’s how he became and was a reason for his change of play in the second term of the Kenyatta/Jubilee government. Therefore, he should make sure Riggy G stays behind the line and is his guy.
We know that Ruto started early to campaign and build his UDA within the Jubilee. That was shown and it was evident ahead of the elections. The DP did this to ensure longevity and become the Head of State himself. Now he hasn’t an official rogue partner, but a man who is tired of being mocked and sidelined. That is something Ruto has to act upon and do the right thing.
Riggy G has the right to speak out about the nonsense. He has the right to call out rank and get people to address him properly. They shouldn’t be there to undermine him. People speak of unity and that his salty. Well, if people where looking down and disrespecting you all the time. You would boil over to in anger. Therefore, the DP is right doing this.
Now it is the vagabond’s turn to act and make a few calls himself. Unless, he wants issues within his camp and get a more hectic return from where-ever his residing at the moment. Peace.
