On the broad-based government formed by President William Ruto, the Deputy President said, “Ruto has brought people who did not vote for us into the cabinet. My main job was to ensure that slots that were meant for the Mt Kenya region were retained. He is my boss.”
Gachagua also said that the government cannot continue blaming former President Uhuru Kenyatta for the economy yet they had been in power for two years.
“Let President Uhuru Kenyatta and his family be respected. I have decided that I will be his defender moving forward. He did a lot for this country, and even after we shamed him, he came to Kasarani and handed over power in broad daylight. We had been saying he ruined the economy, but we have been in power for two years now. Let us tell Kenyans something different: look at the mess we have in Nairobi, yet Uhuru left it in a very good state under NMS,” remarked Gachagua.
