Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused Members of Parliament and other political leaders of disrespecting him and the people of Kenya.
Speaking during an official educational function in Ruai, Nairobi, Gachagua lashed out at politicians who were criticizing him, adding that he was only speaking on behalf of the people.
Additionally, Gachagua said that he was supporting the Population-based revenue sharing formula ‘One man one vote one shilling’ because he had the backing of the people.
“I want to ask all the leaders in Kenya to stop hurling abuses at Kenyans. They have eaten and are full now they want to vomit on the people. If you have had enough to eat that is fine, others who are still struggle give them their respect,
“I listen to the people so if you hear me say something it is the people who have spoken to me. i am always speaking on behalf of the people and I know that i have the backing of so many other people,” said Gachagua.

Politicians who accompanied the Deputy President condemned Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah for disrespecting Cachagua saying that he made political milestones because of the support and backing of the DP.
Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, on his part, addressed Ichung’wah saying that he was no longer worthy of his position in parliament. He asked MPs to take action against the Majority Leader and oust him if he could not remain impartial.
“I am shocked that the speaker of the national assembly Moses Wetangula, who is also lawyer allowed other to hurl abuses at you in parliament. If they want to fight, they should come and fight us in the open so that the people can see it.
“Kimani Ichung’wah no longer has the locus standi to be the majority leader. He is now a divisive figure in the national assembly, in parliament and in Kenya. I want to ask the members of National Assembly to do the necessary so that we can release him,” he said.

Ichung’wah Attacks Gachagua Over Flight
A section of Members of Parliament (MPs) questioned the allocation of funds to Gachagua’s office after he boarded a commercial plane to Mombasa.
Led by Ichung’wah, the MPs criticized Gachagua’s decision to use a Kenya Airways (KQ) commercial flight and even carry his own luggage while boarding the plane on June 11, 2024.
According to him, the DP was assigned a police chopper, which was still under maintenance, hence his decision to use private choppers.
At the same time, senior Kenya Kwanza leaders allied to President William Ruto including Ichung’wah have insisted that the Deputy President is attempting to destabilize the administration from within using ethnic politics.
“If you want to become the president of Kenya, work in the position you have been given today, to deliver to the people of Kenya. When your time comes, they will see leadership in you.
“But if you seek to sabotage the government of Kenya for your own selfish gains, you will go absolutely nowhere,” he said.
