Simba Arati Sends Stern Warning to Rigathi Gachagua: Focus on Development, Not Politics
Kisii Governor and ODM Deputy Leader Simba Arati has firmly advised Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to prioritize development over politics.
During the launch of a cancer center in Kisii, with President William Ruto and his deputy in attendance, Arati stressed the need for unity and collaboration for the nation’s progress.
Addressing Gachagua, Arati welcomed him to Kisii, encouraging continued cooperation with the President, but cautioned against bringing up divisive issues, signaling that ODM is ready to support President Ruto if necessary.
“Mr. Deputy President, feel at home in Kisii. Don’t worry. Continue working with the President, but if divisive matters arise, as ODM, we are prepared to collaborate with him,” Arati warned.
Gachagua has faced accusations of undermining the President and mobilizing allies to disrupt the head of state’s efforts to serve Kenyans.
