Kenya Kwanza Alliance presidential running mate Rigathi Gachagua has told Azimio La umoja running mate Martha Karua that she has no moral authority to lecture Deputy President William Ruto on respecting President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking in Meru on Sunday, July 3,Gachagua said that Karua has never supported President Uhuru’s political career.
On Saturday, Karua had called on DP Ruto to show respect to the Head of State.
“My sister, you have no capacity or moral authority to lecture William Ruto about respecting Uhuru Kenyatta. You wouldn’t know how to respect Uhuru Kenyatta because you have never respected or supported him,” Rigathi Gachagua said.
Gachagua added that William Ruto and his allies have stood with President Kenyatta since 2013 and therefore know how to respect him
He challenged Karua to attend classes on how to respect the President because they understand him more than her.
“You would need a seminar ukuje mimi nikukalishe chini nikufundishe njia ya kuunga mkono na kupatia yeye heshima kwa sababu tunaelewa.” he added.
Gachagua accused Karua of having a history of walking out on presidents giving the example of how she walked out on the late president Moi and how she bolted out of the late President Mwai Kibaki’s administration.
“Although Kibaki honored Karua and appointed her to the Cabinet… when he got in trouble with Raila Odinga…kumsumbua. Martha Karua walked out on Kibaki. Si mnakumbuka? She showed Kibaki the middle finger. Na akatoka kwa serikali,” Gachagua said.
