The feud between former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and President William Ruto appears far from over.
Gachagua took to his X account, branding the Head of State a "pathological liar," although he did not directly mention him. He accused Ruto of misleading Kenyans following a publicised interview in which the president suggested his former deputy was removed due to selfish interests, poor leadership, and an inability to work with other government officials. "I am now more convinced than ever that pathological lying is a mental disorder," Gachagua wrote. "The greatest existential threat to our beloved country is outright lying to the people of Kenya without blinking and failure by a leader to put his team together to harmonise their lies.
I weep for my country, Kenya," he added.
His remarks came after Ruto's interview on vernacular TV stations ahead of his Mt Kenya tour, where he outlined reasons for Gachagua's ouster.
