Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has fired back at his predecessor Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of disrespect and incitement.
A seemingly vexed Prof Kindiki convened a consultative development forum at his Irunduni home in Tharaka Nithi, where he hosted a meeting of 10,000 grassroots leaders including MCAs, former MCAs, from Meru, Embu and Tharaka Nithi. Kindiki while announcing that the President William Ruto administration now had enough money to complete all key development projects that had stalled for more than a decade, accused Gachagua of disrespecting other leaders and failing to play his role as the president's principal assistant.
Gachagua had in recent days, including a recent visit in Meru claimed Kindiki was convening meetings at the DP's official residence in Karen to 'lie' to Kenyans.
Gachagua had challenged Kindiki to hold such meetings in Meru, instead of calling people to Nairobi to 'lie' to them. "They are proud when they convene a meeting of 20 people!
