Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has told off Azimio leader Raila Odinga saying that the government has no business with him.
Gachagua said that Raila should focus on the opposition role of oversighting the government
“Yesterday we heard Raila saying that he will not be coaxed or intimidated to joining our government. We have no business with you in our government, we are not interested and we are not looking for you we have no time, “Gachagua said.
Gachagua said that Raila should stop saying that he is being forced to join the government.
“They should be in opposition to oversight the government by informing us where we are wrong and pushing us in parliament for us to move forward as a country,” Gachagua said.
The DP said that the government has enough people and they do not need help.
Gachagua was speaking at a Church service at Karigu-ini in Kenol Murang’a on Sunday.
Raila, while speaking in Kisumu on Saturday, took a swipe at the current administration on reports that people were being told that they should join the government to get or have development projects in their regions.
“We cannot be threatened to join the government, which government?” he questioned.
He said the constitution is very clear that we have two levels of government: that is the national and the county.
“If you are leading a county government. You are in government, which one again do they want you to get into?” Raila questioned.
He said counties get allocations from the national government because they have to be given as required by the law.
