‘Disorganized, Tasteless!’ – Ruto Joins His Allies Troll Gachagua’s New Party
President William Ruto has stepped up his criticism of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of fostering insults and tribalism.
The President’s sentiments were echoed by his deputy, Prof. Kithure Kindiki, and other Members of Parliament, who criticized Gachagua’s Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) as colorless and tribal.
On Friday, when inspecting the multi-million-shilling Galana Kulalu irrigation project in Tana River County, the President chastised his former DP.
“Hakuna mtu atapata kura ati kwa sababu alikuwa na matusi mingi. Mtu atapatiwa kura kwa sababu kuna kazi amefanya na inaonekana na wananchi,” Ruto stated.

The President asked leaders to reduce political tensions, claiming that heightened politics had stifled progress.
”Sio wakati wa siasa…sio wakati wa marengo, kabila, dini sijui chama…wakati huu ni sote tuungane na kushughulika na mambo ya muhimu ambayo yatabadilisha maisha ya Wakenya,” he stated.
DP Kindiki shared same concerns during his tour of Murang’a and Meru counties.
“Sisi kama viongozi tumekataa siasa za mapema, wale wanaomba viti wajue hakuna uchaguzi sai, wangojee siku ya uchaguzi tutanyoroshana na siasa ya siku hiyo,” stated the DP.
Meanwhile, a group of parliamentarians led by Senate Speaker Amason Kingi and President Ruto’s advisor Farouk Kibet lauded the Head of State while condemning Gachagua’s party.
“Kuna mambo mengi ambayo Mheshimiwa Ruto amefanya. Ukiangalia miaka miwili na nusu ambayo imepita, huwezi kuilinganisha na miaka kumi ambayo ilitangulia,” said Speaker Kingi.

Meanwhile, MP Kibwezi West Mwengi Mutuse, who initiated the impeachment motion against Gachagua, had his say.
“Tunataka wananchi wa Kenya tumalize umaskini, na kuna wale wengine ambao wanataka kuleta vita,” Mutuse stated.
“(Mutuse) amefukuza mkabila hadi ameenda kuanzisha chama cha Divide Community Party…Huyu kijana Mutuse ni kiongozi ambaye atakuja kutawala Kenya siku moja,” said Farouk Kibet.
