Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused a section of Kenya Kwanza leaders of having excessive pride.

Speaking during a Sunday service at the PEFA Church Kiamariga, Nyeri County, Gachagua accused the leaders of antagonising the citizens and President William Ruto through their pride.

“Wengine wamekua an kiburi, wakifungua mdomo watu wanakasirika. Hao watu ndio wanaharibia rais. Wanaharibia serikali. Wako na kiburi mingi sana. Wamekula wameshiba, wanatapikia watu amboa hakuna kitu wamekula. Si mwapatie kidogo wakule halafu mwatapikie. Wewe umekula umeshiba unaongelesha watu vibaya, vile unataka na maringo na kiburi,” Gachagua said.

Loosely translated as: “Others have become arrogant, and when they open their mouths, people get angry. Those people are the ones who make it hard for the president. They make it hard for the government. They are very proud. They have eaten their fill and then vomiting on people who have eaten nothing. Give them a little to eat before vomiting on them. You have eaten your fill and you talk rudely to the people, arrogantly.”

This comes a day after Public Service Cabinet Secretary (CS) Moses Kuria was forced to cut short his speech after a charged crowd attending the funeral of politician Maina Wanjigi in Nyeri County booed him.

The agitated crowd chanted “Ruto must go” as he struggled to give his speech, forcing him to cut his address and leave the podium.

Gachagua on undermining Ruto

Gachagua has also accused a section of leaders of undermining President William Ruto by disregarding directives from the Executive arm of government.

“I would like to tell government officers all over Kenya, I am not aware of any decision by the government or cabinet to reopen bars that were selling illicit brews. Those instructions (to reopen the bars) are illegal and are part of the political schemes that are going on in this country. Those schemes are destroying the country, they are not building the country,” Gachagua said.

“We would like to tell those people that have those schemes, please stop it. Don’t undermine the president by antagonising the people of Kenya.”
