I'm the Custodian of 'Government Shares' Book - Gachagua
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has crowned himself the custodian of the "government shares" in President William Ruto's government.
The DP made the statement in reference to the developments that await the counties that voted for Kenya Kwanza during the election period. Gachagua thanked the residents of Tharaka Nithi for their support and promised them rewards. This is not the first time the Deputy President has spoken about the "government shares". In March, Gachagua's comments were met with criticism from Azimio leaders after he likened the national government to a limited company. In his defence, Gachagua said that his words were taken out of context.
"In your government President Ruto, I am the custodian of the book of shares on how people voted for us and I want to confirm to the people of Tharaka Nithi that your shares are very good and you must get development," Gachagua said while in Tharaka Nithi.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga also criticized him, terming his remarks reckless and divisive. Gachagua also spoke about the violence that occurred during Wednesday's demonstrations. He said that the police officers should not be blamed for their actions as they reacted when they saw the destruction of property and violent behaviour by rowdy protesters. The Wednesday protests ended tragically with nine people killed and several others injured, while 600 were arrested nationwide. The demonstrators were met with brutal force as they engaged the police in running battles.
"This government is a shares company. It has the owners who have majority shares, those with minority shares and those that don't have any shares. You invested in this company owned by William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua you must harvest. You invested and your time to harvest is now. Even if they (the opposition) will harvest but they have to wait for you to finish harvesting."Gachagua said.

Does this kalenjin knows what he talks about?
He’s suffering from the genetic stupidity.
Amezaliwa na Hiyo ujinga.
Bila shaka Ndugu yetu Rigathi amechanganyikiwa.
Rīgathi nī mūgūrūki.
Both Ruto and Gachagua are in campaign mode. It's like there's no other business. Kenyans are hurting
Rigathi:
Mwambie mwenzako Ruto asifikirie ya kwamba WaKenya ni wajinga! La! Hasha! Samoei alikuwa makamu wa rais kwa muda wa miaka kumi chini ya Rais Uhuru Ngina Kamau. Kwa nini hakujiuzulu na kufanya shuguhulu nyingine? Kwa muda huo wote, alitumia mali ya umma kujijenga na huku anapata ulinzi mkali wa serikali. Isitoshe, alichukua nafasi hiyo kuendeleza mambo ya biashara zake na kumaliza masomo yake mpaka akapata shahada ya uzamivu.
Ningependa kuona tume ya uchunguzi wa kujua aliyehusika kuingilia shamba la Uhuru, kuiba kondoo,na kuchoma miti katika shamba lake. Mambo ya kuchoma yalifanyika tena katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret 2007. Mpaka sasa, hakuna hata mtu ambaye ameshikwa na kupelekwa mahakamani!
Utawala wa Toroitich hautaruhusiwa kurudi Kenya tena, Kama Samoei ameshindwa na kazi aondoke mara moja. Tumechoka kusikia akiwalaumu watu wengine na huku alikuwa makamu wa rais kwa muda wa miaka 10.
Ningependa kuona ule uongozi wa mababu zetu ambao kila mtu alichangia kuongoza nchi. Wakati huo, hakukuwa na mtu mmoja ambaye alijifanya mfalme na kutawala watu kwa kimabafu kama vile Samoei anavyofanya sasa.
Ndugu X Mpilo Tutu alisema:
"If you are silent in situations of injustice, you have taken the side of the oppressor."
WanaKenya! Amkeni! Toroitich amefufuka tena. Anatumia kiwiliwili cha Samoei mwanafunzi wake wa kudhulumu raia kwa kutumia polisi kwa njia isiyofaa. Nchi ya Kenya ni yetu wote. Si ya Azimio, Kenya Kwanza, au Samoei na Rigathi peke yao.
And to think some here voted for these pcs of st
Gachagua, you are better than this. Prove us wrong.
No he is actually worse than this. He has done squat for Mathīra other than steal. He will do the same for Kenya. Admittedly my relatives in the area have painted a picture of an avaricious little mean spirited man so I may be prejudiced.
CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS LACKING IN OUR CURRICULUM
Rigathi's statements and those of his buddy X Samoei from time to time clearly indicates that an academic course titled "Critical Thinking Skills" is seriously lacking in our curriculum.
We have in Kenya many people who have obtained bachelors, masters, and doctorates degrees. However, the daily activities going on in the country shows that our nation is run by illiterates. Obtaining an academic degree is not enough to run a country fairly. Why? Look at the appointments dished to two micro nations aka ethnic communities in a country composed of 70 distinct micro nations! Is this fair?
Does this fool know that the government distributes taxes paid by taxpayers all over the country!
Regardless of who you voted for, you still have to pay taxes!!
If his thinking is to make any sense, then Kenyans who voted for Azimio shouldn’t pay any taxes since they don’t own any “shares” in this corrupt regime!!
This is what you get when you vote stupid people into power!!
As Kibaki would call them, “takataka mavi ya kuku!”
I disagree, coz mavi ya kuku makes for great fertilizer for vegetables!!
