He cannot be intimidated or threatened because of allowances,\u201d Gachagua said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He dismissed claims that Kenyatta should keep quiet to safeguard his retirement benefits, arguing that the former president was financially independent and could not be silenced through threats. Gachagua vowed that any attempt to withdraw Kenyatta\u2019s entitlements would be reversed once the opposition takes power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven if they withhold his benefits, there will be no problem. When we form government, we shall give President Kenyatta everything that is due to him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gachagua accused President Ruto of panicking politically, claiming the Head of State was unsettled by the loss of support from the Mount Kenya region, which he said overwhelmingly voted for him in 2022. According to Gachagua, Ruto had hoped to use Kenyatta to divide the region politically but had failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe mountain is united. Those who voted for Ruto and those who voted against him are now together. President Kenyatta cannot be used to divide his own people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former deputy president said he would personally defend Kenyatta whenever he is attacked, describing him as a brother, kinsman and retired president whose dignity must be protected. He challenged President Ruto to confront Kenyatta directly instead of sending allies to do so on his behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf he is man enough, let him do it himself,\u201d Gachagua said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further accused the Ruto administration of shifting blame to Kenyatta for its own failures, citing what he described as the collapse of key sectors including healthcare, education financing and public services since the change of government in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen President Kenyatta left office, the health system was working, higher education funding was functional and schools were operating normally. Three years later, everything has been destroyed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gachagua also dismissed attempts to downplay the strength of the opposition, insisting that Mount Kenya, Ukambani, Kisii and parts of Western Kenya were firmly aligned against President Ruto. He argued that the ruling party could not survive politically without Mount Kenya\u2019s support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gachagua dismissed claims that Uhuru should keep quiet to safeguard his retirement benefits, arguing that the former president was financially independent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14288,"featured_media":793286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,4625,26],"tags":[1981,491,44410,44406,44405,44408,44407,2246,44404,44403,1829,44402,44409,44401],"coauthors":[2156],"class_list":["post-793283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kenya","category-national-news","category-top-stories","tag-featured","tag-kenya","tag-kenya-political-tensions-2026","tag-kenyan-opposition-2026","tag-mount-kenya-political-dynamics","tag-opposition-response-to-ruto-government","tag-retired-president-rights-kenya","tag-rigathi-gachagua","tag-rigathi-gachagua-news","tag-rigathi-gachagua-press-briefing","tag-uhuru-kenyatta","tag-uhuru-kenyatta-defended","tag-uhuru-kenyatta-retirement-benefits","tag-william-ruto-political-attacks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.7) -
