Gachagua Reveals Why Ruto’s ‘Confused’ After Kalonzo’s Nyanza Reception
The United Opposition has responded to President William Ruto’s assertions that they are motivated by political gain.
They added that the Head of State is concerned with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s reception in Nyanza, which they believe complicates his political matrix.

The leaders addressed on Tuesday during the burial of Terry Kariuki, the late J.M. Kariuki’s wife, at Kanyamwe Farm in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
They attacked Ruto, calling him a confused President, and claimed that his political calculations have failed because the opposition is now acceptable in Nyanza.
“Huyu Kasongo niliona akilia anasema kuna wanaume watano wamekutana kugawa serikali,” Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua said.
“Amechanganyikiwa tangu aende Bondo kulia machozi ya uongo, familia ya Mama Ida ikasema Kalonzo anatambuliwa — sasa amechanganyikiwa.”

They denied indictments that the opposition is building a government to protect their own interests, stressing that their primary goal is to remove President Ruto from office.
“Hao wanaume na mama mmoja wanakutana kupanga vile utaenda nyumbani. Kazi yetu ni kukutoa serikalini, tutapanga baadaye,” added Gachagua.
The opposition leaders also disputed rumors that a member of their team was in talks with President Ruto, describing them as state-sponsored misinformation.
“Wengine wanasema that the President wants to speak to us. If you want to speak to us, you must do so through our spokesperson,” DAP-K party leader Eugene Wamalwa stated.
In honoring the late J.M. Kariuki, they stated that past injustices caused by political assassinations should be remedied.

“The injustices that the family of J.M. Kariuki and other families faced must be addressed. We must deal with historical injustices,” Kalonzo noted.
The family of J.M. Kariuki praised his late widow, Terry Kariuki, as a woman of strong principles and boundless kindness.
President Ruto slammed opposition leaders on Monday for stating that Kenya’s development into an affluent country is impossible.
He said the government has a plan on what to do and how to raise the funding required, and dismissed the leaders as people without any agenda.

The President also slammed them as people who specialise in division, tribal talk, and hatred and no wonder they cannot visualise a Kenya that transforms from Third World status to the first world.
