| President Ruto and his deputy Gachagua |
Lawyer Makau Mutua has warned Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua against infighting with his boss, President William Ruto. Lawyer Makau Mutua said Rigathi Gachagua should not engage in a supremacy battle with his boss. Can Gachagua outsmart William Ruto? In a statement on Tuesday, May 21, Makau said Gachagua might be tempted to clash with Ruto but would ultimately lose the battle. The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party spokesperson advised Gachagua to resist any urge to follow in Ruto’s footsteps. During his time as the DP, Ruto constantly clashed with retired president Uhuru Kenyatta in the previous regime. “DP Rigathi Gachagua will fight President William Ruto and lose big. He should resist the urge to follow in his boss’s footsteps because his boss isn’t Uhuru Kenyatta,” Makau said. Makau claimed the second-in-command was not a political genius, making fighting with his boss difficult. “Unlike his boss, Gachagua isn’t a master political strategist or a genius tactician. As the late President Moi used to say, atajikaanga na mafuta yake!” he added.
