Deputy President William Ruto has denied using his inauguration speech as an opportunity to settle personal scores with former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The DP went bare-knuckle on his inaugural speech calling out the previous regime for leaving the country in a dilapidated.
The speech drew mixed reactions among Kenyans who felt that he embarrassed the state by exposing the country's key information to foreign dignitaries.
But Gachagua has dismissed the criticism saying he was only stating things the way they are.
"My speech at the Inauguration was not based on personal differences with Uhuru Kenyatta, I needed to tell the people of Kenya the kind of country we have inherited...That they are finally free," he said in an interview with NTV.
"That is the truth. Those who are not used to the truth, I am sorry. There is nothing I can do. I am a truthful man."
In speech on Tuesday, September 13, Gachagua painted a sorry state of the country in the presence of former President Uhuru who had just handed over power to Ruto.
Gachagua rekindled how he and his allies were allegedly harassed by the State for ostensibly supporting Ruto for Presidency.
He went on to say the economy was in bad shape as the country was left with nothing.
