Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua claims former President Uhuru Kenyatta is behind the planned demonstrations by Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition.
Speaking in Kirinyaga County on Saturday, the deputy president accused Kenyatta of funding the protests in a bid to derail the Kenya Kwanza administration.
“These people who are sponsoring this mzee should stop living in denial...this mzee lost...there is nothing they can do,” Gachagua said.
Insisting that President Ruto will not be cowed by the planned mass action, Gachagua called on security agencies to protect the property of civilians during the demonstrations.
“I want to assure the people of Kenya that adequate plans have been made to protect the lives and property of Kenyans. We want Kenyans to go about their businesses. Ruto hapana mtoto wa cerelac, ni chuma wa zamani...huyo si mtu wa kuuziwa uwoga...uwoga uliuzia yule mtu wa cerelac,” Gachagua added.
The deputy president’s sentiments were echoed by National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah and other Kenya Kwanza leaders accompanying him.
Ichung’wa stated: “Uhuru Kenyatta because you are the principal sponsor of the demonstrations...Raila Odinga is a mercinary sponsored by Uhuru Kenyatta.”
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has called for countrywide mass action on Monday to compel President Ruto’s administration to address their demands, chief among them lowering the cost of living.
On Sunday, Odinga accused Ruto and Gachagua of what he termed as pride and looking down on opposition leaders.
“If he (Ruto) wanted to talk, he would have. We gave him 14 days to get back but he didn’t, he refused and only addressed us on television. His deputy talks proudly and uses demeaning language,” Raila said.
“This is the language they will understand. The demos will go on even beyond Monday until the whole world knows there is a problem in Kenya.”

Gachagua is just a foolish kikuyu.
Kikuyus have a very many people suffering from ujinga.
That is true Kachakua. This son of Ngina never had dedicated interest in the welfare of this country, even after we showed him all that love in '13 and '17. No wonder he presented a low regard for ordinary citizens and made one wonder whether he thought we're Jomo's empire's squatters. So, we didn't matter to him that is because he kinda owned us. Bure kabisa!
I hope the planned subdivision of expired Kamau’s grabbed 500000 acres of land are still on.It is a good bargain to let Uhuru sponsor muuaji Raila violence in exchange of re-granting.It must be redistributed to free(excluding taxation and fees) lucky Kenyans chosen through rotary .I am glad that five more diasporans arrived to guard their parents an hour ago.
substantiate Mr. DP
Dada yetu wa asili ya BLAWA/COHO (Bara la Asili Watu au Continent Of Human Origins) a.k.a. Africa, ambaye ni Makamu wa Rais katika nchi ya Colombia, Marekani ya Kusini (anayeitwa Francia Marquez) anguruma alipohojiwa huko Cuba:
There million of Kenyan men who can replace William Ruto.
Being a shameless idiot, a brazen thief who cheats on his wife , lies to everyone & goes to church on Sunday is not exactly a new phenomenon in Kenya.
Such characters exist in every urban center in Kenya.
Ruto must go.
