Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked his boss William Ruto to be alert because his detractors have “not given up and have now regrouped” to fight his administration.
This even as Gachagua affirmed that President Ruto's administration is “solid and focused on service delivery”.
“For avoidance of any doubt the Ruto administration is solid, it's focused on service delivery and will not be distracted by propaganda, innuendos and things that will not make sense,” he said.
There were reports in the media on Sunday that Ruto had disagreed with Gachagua over top state appointments at State House.
Gachagua claimed that the political enemies who fought hard to stop Ruto's ascension to power are sponsoring “screaming headlines' in the media to fight his government.
The DP asked the church to pray the president to success just as they “prayed Ruto” to victory in the August elections.
“Just as you prayed Ruto to victory pray for him into success...the people who were trying to stop him have not given up, they have regrouped, they have engaged the media,” Gachagua claimed.
“If you read the media you would have believed we would not get anywhere, they have been activated and they are back.”
Speaking at the Christ is the Answer ministries in Karen, Gachagua alleged that the political detractors are unhappy that the President has received diplomatic acceptability among world powers.
“These people, while you were away, crafted a narrative that now that you are succeeding and the world has accepted you and accepted your leadership and are responding to your various engagement, you are a puppet of the West,” he said.
“We have told them that President Ruto has the exclusive mandate from the p of Kenya to engage the West, the East, the South and the North and anybody who means well for this great country.”
Although he did not mention names, the DP's remarks were targeted at the Azimio coalition which this week warned that Ruto has become a puppet of the West especially in pushing for GMO foods.
Gachagua also faulted the opposition led by Raila Odinga for planning mass action saying they should first ensure that their families take the lead role in the street protests.
“These people have arranged for their sons and daughters to serve at East African Legislative Assembly.. let them come physically and lead the demos so that Kenyans can follow,” he said.
