Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday, January 5, took to social media to support Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya.

This comes a few days after Natembeya made bold remarks during Speaker Moses Wetangula's mother's funeral urging President William Ruto to end the abductions of youths currently plaguing the nation.

In his post, Gachagua lauded the Governor and urged him not to listen to naysayers and instead keep fighting for the residents of Trans Nzoia County. "My dear brother Governor Natembeya, please do not let the court poets and masters of platitude distract you from the work you are doing of delivering to the people of Trans-Nzoia County," he wrote.

He went forth to opine that all the backlash the Governor was receiving resulted from the impact he was making by speaking the truth.
