📻 Breaking It Down

Gachagua said Ruto was treating Kindiki in the same manner he allegedly treated him before his removal from office, arguing that the President was gradually sidelining his deputy while using political allies to undermine him publicly.

He made the remarks on Wednesday at Kipeto in Keekonyokie Ward, Kajiado West, during celebrations to honour the educational achievement of Ann Nashipae, one of the DCP party’s aspiring candidates for Woman Representative in Kajiado County.

Gachagua, who has been openly critical of Ruto since his impeachment and removal from office, claimed Kindiki was being deliberately embarrassed in public as the President deepened his political partnership with ODM.

“Just recently in Naivasha, while Kindiki was sitting there, President William Ruto planned to humiliate him. He told Simba Arati to stand up, and Arati said, ‘This Deputy President seat belongs to us in ODM, and if Kindiki wants it, he should join ODM,’” he said.

He was referring to events at the Joint Broad-Based Alliance Parliamentary Group and Governors Retreat in Naivasha, where Ruto announced that Kenya Kwanza and ODM had formally agreed to work together as a coalition in the 2027 elections.

Gachagua alleged that Ruto had used ODM leaders to publicly question Kindiki’s position as Deputy President.

Gachagua questioned why Ruto would publicly discuss Kindiki’s position if he had already decided to remove him.

“President William Ruto, even if you have decided to fire this Soprano because he has no followers and has been rejected across Kenya for being a fake, why humiliate him? Why discuss his seat while he is sitting right there?” he asked.

“Even if he is useless, he is still someone’s husband and the father of a child. Even if he has no supporters, at least he is a human being. Why humiliate him?”
