As such, Eugene Wamalwa spoke against his arrest, terming it intimidation by the government.
“They arrested Gaucho, the ghetto president because he spoke the truth about how President Ruto lied to Kenyans. It is the truth, hustlers are suffering,” Wamalwa stated over the weekend at an event at Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s Yatta farm in Kitui.
