‘I am Priceless!’ – Gachagua Reveals What He Told Ruto After Multiple Proposals
Former President Rigathi Gachagua claims that President William Ruto gave him many opportunities to quit days before his impeachment.
Gachagua further alleged that the Head of State told him directly that he could no longer cooperate with him and should step down respectfully.
“He called me once when we disagreed, and he said, I cannot work with you. I would like you to resign, and if you don’t, I will impeach you,” Gachagua said.
“He then said, instead of you going home empty-handed, and since you assisted me, I would like you to go with your retirement package, and I will get you some money to get you started, like Sh1.5-2 billion, and I told him I am not interested. I am priceless.”
Former DP Rigathi Gachagua: The President should make up his mind on how much money I was supposedly asking for. His 'chief propagandist', Dennis Itumbi, wrote that I asked for KSh 6.5 billion. His 'Mr. Fix-It', Kimani Ichung’wah, claimed it was KSh 8 billion. Then Ruto himself… pic.twitter.com/lknvHIGMYa

During his development tour, Mountain President Ruto launched a furious counteroffensive in central Kenya, right in the backyard of his former deputy Gachagua.
Ruto alleged that his former deputy requested Sh10 billion to “organise” Mount Kenya politics, threatening, “If my fate is one term, so be it.”
However, during a TV appearance on Monday, Gachagua said that the President had sent a senior government executive several times to persuade him to leave in exchange for an enticing retirement package.
“He sent a very senior officer in government to come to see me on the day the National Assembly resolved that I should be impeached, and he gave me his terms, and against my ethics, because I don’t record people, I recorded that conversation,” Gachagua said.

Gachagua further said that the President directed the officer the next day to encourage him to meet with him in person.

“He suggested I go to the State House and meet the president for the talks, and I refused. The officer further suggested that we meet at a city hotel, which I also refused,” Gachagua said.
“We met along State House Road in one of the safe houses run by the National Intelligence Service.”
“Again he gave me an offer, and I told him I will think about it because I didn’t want to have a fight with him,” he added.
Gachagua claimed that on the day he appeared before the Senate for his impeachment hearing, the president allegedly dispatched the officer with another offer, which he denied.
