Former DP Gachagua lash out as his former boss president Ruto over governance issues
The former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has hit out to the Kenya Kwanza administration over what he termed as lack of political goodwill to clear all the coffee debts after promising to allocate 4b for the same.
Gachagua has said that during his time in office he pushed for the allocation of the money to clear all accumulated coffee debts but until now, there is nothing much to show.
The former DP spoke yesterday at Kanunga Baptist Church in Mukurweini Constituency in Nyeri county during a church service.
Gachagua has also asked the government to disburse the coffee cherry fund alleging that only 400M has been released from the 4b allocated by the cabinet.
He has also called on the expansion of the distribution of subsidized fertilizer claiming that the current procedure does not favour coffee farmer who get very little supply of the fertilizer.
Gachagua has also lashed out to president William Ruto of double speak on claims that some leaders are propagating tribal politics saying that Mt. The Kenya region voted president Ruto to a man while he didn’t come from the region.
He has asked the president to respect the decisions of the people from the region and nothing will change the decisions they have made.
He was in the company of host MP John Kaguchia, Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga, Deputy Governor David Kinaniri, memberof parliament Onesmus Ngogoyo (Kajiado North), Nyeri County Speaker James Gichuhi, all members of County Assembly led by Mukurweini Central MCA Cyrus Kibiru among others.
