Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said that he is the one who keeps the 'government shares' book in President William Ruto's government.
He said this in reference to how different counties will get developments on how they voted for Kenya Kwanza.
Speaking on Thursday in Tharaka Nithi, the DP added that Tharaka Nithi prayed and supported Kenya Kwanza during the election period.
As a result, the DP assured them that their shares in terms of development will be good.
"In your government President Ruto, I am the custodian of the book of shares on how people voted for us and I want to confirm to the people of Tharaka Nithi that your shares are very good and you must get development," he said.
The DP thanked Tharaka Nithi residents for offering Ruto support and promised them goodies.
This is not the first time the DP has talked boldly about 'government shares'.
In March, Gachagua faced criticism from some Azimio leaders after he likened the national government to a limited company saying those who voted for them are the biggest shareholders and must benefit first
"This government is a shares company. It has the owners who have majority shares, those with minority shares and those that don't have any shares," Gachagua said.
"You invested in this company owned by William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua you must harvest. You invested and your time to harvest is now. Even if they (the opposition) will harvest but they have to wait for you to finish harvesting."
However, the DP defended himself saying his words were taken out of context.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga termed his remarks as reckless and divisive.
