Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has asked Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to leave ODM party leader Raila Odinga alone.

The legislator told the deputy president to instead focus on the Kenya Kwanza bottom-up economy that was promised to Kenyans during the campaigns.

"Riggy G leave Raila Odinga alone … get down to your bottom-up economy! Everyday Raila this Raila that … we wacha Zako bwana…,” Ledama said on Saturday.

Earlier, Gachagua said Raila abandoned his oversight role during the Jubilee reign and allowed public coffers to be looted.

Speaking on Saturday during the launch of Thiba dam in Kirinyaga county, the DP said Raila abandoned his oversight role.

"Wewe mzee! Unaongea mzuri sana na hiyo ndio kazi yako ya kutukosoa. Kama ungefanya hiyo kazi ya kukosoa serikali ya Uhuru Kenyatta, hatungefika pahali tuko," Gachagua said.

(What you are saying is very good and that's your job to correct us. Had you done your job of correcting Uhuru Kenyatta's government, we wouldn't be here today)

The Deputy President further blamed Raila for what he said was his role in misleading the government to spend Sh50 billion on the collapsed BBI.

He further claimed that Raila confused former President Uhuru Kenyatta to spend Sh200 billion to run the 'Azimio project.'
