DP Ruto Hides Gachagua After Series of Public Blunders

It seems like Deputy President William Ruto’s running mate Rigathi Gachagua has retreated for public speaking lessons.

In the last few days, the Mathira MP has minimised his public interactions.

Even when together with the DP, Gachagua is keeping a low profile.

This comes after spate of public gaffes that exposed the Kenya Kwanza Alliance to trolling on social media networks.

“We don’t refuse that you’ve taken Rigathi Gachagua for public speaking coaching, but please release him just for today we also want to laugh at his progress. We thank you our elders,” blogger Gabriel Oguda joked on Twitter.

Just days after Ruto selected Gachagua to his number two, the first-term MP made headlines when he asked his boss to consider offering plates of rice and beef to residents of Nyeri County at the Sagana State Lodge if he becomes President.

He was again talk of the town when suggested that big companies like Safaricom and Kenya Airways should be controlled to grow small businesses.

It did not end there. Addressing a rally in Baringo County, he said areas that will vote UDA MPs will be prioritised in military recruitment.

And just the other day, he said the DP endeared himself to Mt Kenya using his money.
