Nyeri governor Mutahi Kahiga has revealed that there is discord between President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua.What did Kahiga say about Ruto-Gachagua relationship? The Nyeri county boss stated that Ruto and Gachagua have a professional relationship, emphasising that Kenyans did not elect them to become romantic partners. During an interview with NTV, Kahiga asserted that Gachagua’s office has been allocated a restricted budget for its operations, suggesting that they are positioning Gachagua for potential failure. “The president himself delegated the responsibility of coffee revitalisation to the deputy president’s office, but if you check today’s budget, there’s only KSh 4 million allocated to that function. What is he expected to do with that?” Kahiga questioned. He further claimed that the government is taking steps to hinder the deputy president’s office from functioning effectively. The governor added that there is an issue between Ruto and Gachagua, emphasising that it is evident and unmistakable. Kahiga stated that the alleged discord between Ruto and Gachagua can only be resolved if Ruto takes a decisive stance and directs all forces, as Kenyans are bound to follow the president’s directives. “I am requesting my president William Ruto, you that we voted for please its time you took charge. Don’t allow people to mess your legacy by creating all those problems that we can see around Gchagua,” he said.
