Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has refuted claims that he is a tribalist, calling the label a calculated political attack aimed at diminishing his rising popularity among Kenyans across the country.
Speaking during a media briefing in Kansas City, USA, Gachagua accused President William Ruto and his inner circle of orchestrating the narrative to weaken his growing national influence. "William Ruto has nothing against me and the only remaining strategy is to label me a tribalist to try to demean me before the people of Kenya," Gachagua asserted. "Fortunately, it's only Ruto and bloggers paid by the government who call me a tribalist.
I am the darling of the Kenyan people." While in the USA, Gachagua blamed the government for targeting people from one region during protests that had led to loss of property. "I have to defend the people of Mt Kenya.
Businesses for our people were targeted for destruction.
