However, on Tuesday, October 31, the ODM party leader was among the dignitaries invited to the State Banquet in honour of the visiting King Charles III and Queen Camilla at State House Nairobi. Where is DP Rigathi Gachagua Earlier, Gachagua, who had been away in Germany on a working visit, claimed he was in charge of making sure that Raila didn’t get closer to the gates of state house. “Na mimi nimepanga, unajua yeye ni mtu wa kutumia njia za kando kando. Pale ikulu nimeweka mitego kila mahali akionekana ananaswa. Kwa sababu, tukimkubalia ataharibu. (Raila is used to shortcuts. But I have set traps for him at state house because if we allow him, he will spoil our party,)” said Gachagua. The second in command, who spoke during a Sunday church mass in Nandi county claimed that Raila was planning to join the Kenya Kwanza government using the back door. “Na huyu mzee akitumia njia za kando akuje aingie kwa handshake aharibu serikali yetu, mtu wa kuulizwa ni mimi. Kwa hivyo rais kama unaweza kuwa na mipango kama hiyo utakuwa tayari kupambana na mimi kwa sababu siwezi kubali, atatuharibia. (If Raila uses shortcuts to join our government I will be asked to take responsibility,)” Gachagua added.
