- The DP is in the company of Cabinet Secretaries and several MPs.
- Gachagua is being hosted by a Wiper MP.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Saturday stormed Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka's Kitui backyard for a fundraiser.
This is the first time that Gachagua will be conducting an open harambee since taking office last September in opposition strongholds.
The Harambee will take place at St Charles Lwanga Secondary School in Makali Mulu's Kitui Central Constituency.
Mulu is a Wiper MP serving his third term.
Among the government officials who are accompanying Gachagua include Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu and his Tourism counterpart Peninah Malonza.
Speaking during the event Gachagua insisted that the government is keen on the approval of the Finance Bill so that it can finance its porgrammes.
''As much as we are protesting, we must be truthful that if we don't collect taxes we will not have development,'' he said.
The DP blasted those criticising the Bill and yet they are calling on the government to spur development and recruit more teachers.
''There is no way you can ask for development for schools and roads and then say we should not collect taxes,'' he said.
The DP also termed as a pipe-dream a push by the Azimio coalition for self-determination.
''That is a dream, it is not possible,'' he said.
