I now have a deputy,\u201d Ruto declared in a veiled attack on former DP Rigathi Gachagua, who was kicked out of office in October last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Ruto expressed confidence in Kindiki\u2019s ability to help steer the country forward, praising his understanding of government priorities and his commitment to national unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe understands roads, electricity, and the government\u2019s plans on SHA, and he is a respectable guy. That is how we are going to change Kenya,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without naming Gachagua directly, the President contrasted Kindiki\u2019s demeanor with what he implied was a divisive and confrontational style from his predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe is not an angry person, nor is he tribal. He is someone who understands that the Deputy President is not one for Meru alone\u2014he belongs to the whole Republic,\u201d Ruto said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat is the man I have, and that is how Kenya will go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruto commended Kindiki for his active role in supporting key government initiatives across sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also praised him for his support of Cabinet secretaries and for working closely with him to deliver on government priorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have seen him traverse different parts of the country, helping me steer this country forward,\u201d he said. \u201cI am very proud that I have a deputy who understands government and is fully supportive of our ministers and my agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On March 31, the president addressed the impeachment of his former deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, blaming Gachagua for his own downfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruto said at the time that the ex-DP created conflicts with officials and MPs instead of focusing on his mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He was not working; he was always engaged in fights, constantly complaining about officials, including bloggers like Dennis Itumbi. I had to intervene every time until I got tired,&#8221; Ruto said in an interview from Sagana State Lodge on Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President, who was in Central Kenya for a five-day tour, dismissed concerns over political tensions in the region, accusing Gachagua of thriving on &#8220;imagined crises.&#8221; He revealed that Gachagua had even demanded Ksh10 billion to resolve issues in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I refused when he asked me for Ksh10 billion to resolve issues in Mt. Kenya while threatening me that I will be a one-term president. This is someone I repeatedly tried to save from impeachment when leaders sought to remove him for intimidating them, but at some point, I gave up,&#8221; Ruto said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gachagua was impeached in October 2024 on charges including abuse of office and tribalism. Following his removal, Ruto appointed Kithure Kindiki as his replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Monday&#8217;s interview, Ruto expressed confidence in his long-standing relationship with Mt. Kenya residents, despite the political turmoil triggered by Gachagua&#8217;s removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I have been visiting Mt. Kenya for over 20 years. This is not a friendship of months or days; it is one built over decades. Such a bond cannot be questioned based on a few months of political shifts,&#8221; Ruto stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Ruto expressed his gratitude to the people of Meru for &#8216;giving&#8217;
