I last spoke with Ruto before Gachagua impeachment, Ndindi Nyoro reveals
Kiharu MP refuses to give his political stand, says he needs to understand some things before commenting on them
Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has revealed that he has never had any political discussion with President William Ruto well before the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking days after his ouster as the Budget and Appropriation Committee chairperson, Nyoro said the last time he had a conversation with the head of state which he categorically specified was political was way before October last year.
“I have not had any conversation on the phone or directly with any leader,” Nyoro stated.
“The last discussion I had with the president of the country, either a chat or discussion on matters of politics as it were was before October of last year,” he added.
The Kiharu legislator who was an adamant support of Ruto stated that even though he has a choice to comment about certain decisions that have been recently made, he has chosen not to speak or comment on them especially in public.
He said his decisions are because he respects every leader regardless of who they are.
“I respect everyone because I believe no one becomes a leader by being fetched from wherever because there is a process of becoming one. I respect both the former DP and the president. I could have comments to make about certain decisions but it is not within my role to talk about such things, especially in public,” Nyoro explained.
According to Nyoro, he needs to understand some things before commenting on them.
“We are given wisdom on what to say and when to say. I do not answer some questions because I cannot answer them. If there is more to say, we shall say at the appropriate time,” he added.
On being removed as the chairman of the influential budget committee, Nyoro said he has no idea why it happened adding that he read about it in the dailies.
Remaining vague about his political stand, the lawmaker emphasised that he harbors no resentment toward anyone, as he believes anger and hatred are burdensome for a leader.
“I don’t respond to evil with evil. I don’t want to assume I know better when I don’t. I also believe that anger and hatred are too heavy a burden for any leader to carry. You only carry negative emotions to the advantage of your detractors,” he said.
