Gachagua Shuts Down Raila: ‘Witness True Governance, Know Your Place!’
Vice President Rigathi Gachagua has criticized opposition leader Raila Odinga for allegedly interfering with the administration of Kenya Kwanza.
This comes after Odinga issued a list of ten demands to President William Ruto on Thursday, outlining how the chief executive should reduce government spending and lower the cost of living for Kenyans.
Speaking in Meru County on Friday, DP Gachagua stated that it is not Odinga’s place to issue demands to the ruling government, adding that the opposition leader should respect the results of the August 2023 presidential election, which saw President Ruto ascend the hill.
“Ati amepeana demands? Amepeana demands kama nani? Umechaguliwa na nani? Wewe ni nani kwa Kenya? Gachagua said, “Si ungojee 2027, you come and convince these people to give you an opportunity.”

Similarly, DP Gachagua criticized Odinga for being a key cog in the handshake government under former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
According to Gachagua, Odinga had the opportunity to implement reforms similar to those he suggested to President Ruto when Uhuru was in power, but he chose not to do so out of self-interest.
“Wewe ulikuwa kwa serikali ya Uhuru Kenyatta na ulikuwa advisor. Ungechangia hiyo maneno unasema but you did nothing. You left us with a shattered nation and destroyed the Jubilee agenda and You halted housing, you halted universal healthcare, and you led us into futile endeavors such as the BBI,” Gachagua said.
“You had the opportunity to perform the actions you assert. Can you observe the administration of power? We have a manifesto and a plan for the Kenyan people, Sisi,” the vice president added.
