Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that President William Ruto deliberately sought to mislead opposition leader Raila Odinga to gain a political advantage over him and his party.
Speaking at the launch of Martha Karua's People's Liberation Party in Nairobi, Gachagua claimed that Ruto had confided in him about a strategy to keep Odinga preoccupied in a political circus, ultimately derailing his bid for the African Union Commission chairmanship.
Gachagua warned Odinga to be wary of the President, suggesting that he would not gain politically from their newfound working partnership with the Kenya Kwanza Government. ''On the day the man was planning to vie for the AUC job, I asked him what plans he had for him and he told me not to worry.
He told me that he will 'plan' him, take him in a circus, and take over ODM,'' Gachagua claimed.
