Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has addressed his absence from the June 25 protests, stating his decision was a deliberate show of respect for Kenya's youth. Speaking during a Friday evening interview on NTV, Gachagua recalled the stance taken by young protestors in last year's demonstrations.
His remarks come amidst ongoing debate about political figures' involvement in the recent demonstrations..
The former DP said his presence at the protests could have fuelled persistent allegations.
Such involvement, he argued, might have led to claims that he was financially backing the demonstrations with the intent of toppling the current administration.
