‘Kenyans Like Entertainers, Gachagua Has That Gift!’ – Nelson Havi
Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president Nelson Havi has stated that impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is a force to be reckoned with as he continues to put pressure on the state.
Speaking to Citizen TV on Tuesday, Havi stated that Gachagua’s claims against the Kenya Kwanza administration cannot be dismissed because he was previously the State’s defender-in-chief.
He stated that Gachagua’s political prospects are improving as he urges Kenyans to be skeptical of giving the incumbent administration another term in 2027.
“There are some things he says out of jest, sometimes out of clownism but it does not matter what he says,” Havi noted.
“He is a distinguished crowd mobiliser. He may be poor in his judgement but he pulls crowds. The unfortunate thing about Kenyans, they listen to whoever entertains them the most and Gachagua has that gift.”

On Monday, the former DP joined opposition MPs Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa to unveil the latter’s new DAP Party offices in Nairobi.
“We are part of this team and will walk this journey together to liberate this country. We will make whatever sacrifices necessary to make sure William Ruto is a one-term president,” he said.
He urged Kenyans to oppose Ruto, whom he accused of being “intolerant” and “dictatorial”.

Gachagua mentioned some of Ruto’s proposed initiatives, including unpleasant tax hikes, which provoked violent nationwide public riots in 2024.
“The government he leads is a one-man show; he wants his way and all those ministers you see there are flower girls,” he said.
“I was the only one who could stand up to him and say, hey boss, this can’t work.”
His attack on the state has been dismissed by Ruto’s close associates, but the former DP has vowed to continue his efforts to expose the government’s wrongdoings.
