Mudavadi Has No Chance of Being Ruto’s Running Mate, MP Rigathi Gachagua Says

Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua insists that Deputy President William Ruto will pick his running mate from the Mt. Kenya region.

Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV on Monday, the first-time MP ruled out the possibility of Ruto’s running mate coming from any other region other than Mt. Kenya.

Gachagua, who is among those touted as possible running mates of Ruto in the August presidential race, stated that the arrival of ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford-Kenya counterpart Moses Wetang’ula will not change the plan.

He noted that Mudavadi and Wetang’ula, who have joined forces with Ruto to form the Kenya Kwanza Alliance ahead of the August 9th elections, are aware that the running mate position is reserved for the Mt. Kenya region.

“When Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang’ula came for discussions, were very forthright with them, because we are very honest people, we are people of integrity. They could not be running away from Raila because of lack of integrity, to come to us to cheat them,” said Gachagua.

He added: “They were told that ‘already we have had our own discussions, and we have agreed that the running mate is from the mountain, so as you come it’s good that you know’…and they came with that knowledge. They will not be running mates, that I can confirm.”

At the same time, Gachagua accused President Kenyatta of sidelining Ruto and overseeing the suffering of Kenyans.

“Food prices are the highest, people cannot buy food, medicine, he is the president, Ruto is not there, he has moved on. Let him take care of his problems, let him not pass the buck to other people,” he said.

Let them start fighting over positions because that is all they care about! Both Rigathi and MDVD cannot be Vice Presidents in kenya. And again Euto will not be the president of kenya so I don’t know why they are fighting.

And your attitude is the general problem with having these kind of folks get close to power. You think they are more important than Kenyans.

They are crooks and so they will do anything to abuse the system and harass the citizens; or even kill Kenyans. Is Ruto not currently having a case to answer at the ICC for killing Kenyans and influencing the course of justice? Sure, I have heard Oscar Sudi say the same nonsense you just repeated here! No wonder no Kenyans want UDAku to take the reigns of power.

As a Kenyan, you should be very ashamed to even think of getting others toasted! For your information no one is worried about getting toasted! Kenya is ours and those pedestrian politicians must learn to accept that reality!

Am just wondering, Ruto is the worst thief I have ever seen. Aliiba akaiba mpaka shule ya watoto, akamfukuza yatima etc. Rigathi is mini Ruto….ka mwizi kadogo compared to Ruto however he is a big mwizi….loots billions. Let’s see….if in any case they become president and veep, what will be left of Kenya? Nothing . I don’t like Raila, I don’t like Ruto either. Uhuru is somewhat ok but not the best. Can’t Kenya find other people with a hint of morality in them? No, hapana. Watu wa kenya deserves better than anyone running. It’s like the dummy Trump being the president of the United States.

Collision is very confused! Did Ruto not kill your own grandma in Kiambaa in 2007? Do you think Kenyans are afraid of Ruto? We will all fight back to the last man standing if Collusion’s state of mind is that of Ruto!

"Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua insists that Deputy President William Ruto will pick his running mate from the Mt. Kenya region"
In one of pieces I wrote about ETHNICITY in KENYA. For any party to win this election, both running mates will be from Mount KENYA region. This is one the thing JOMO and MOI, USED to their advantage. This is the one EVIL or VICE,that we have to deal with.
IT'S time KENYANS start seeing themselves as KENYANS and not in the tribal and ethnic EYES.
WHOEVER WINS, KENYANS WILL DEAL WITH THE AFTERMATH, I'm yet to see ONE PACKAGE OF UNGA HAVING DIFFERENT PRICE TAGS BASED OF ETHNICITY.

Comrade Collusion,
JOMO KENYATTA started it all. From the MONEY he stole from the MAUMAU FIGHTERS given by the British government.Then PAUL NGEI, sold the KENYAN MAIZE,and JOMO Wouldn't do anything about it. THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF LOOTING IN KENYA.

In other words, Gachagua is telling Madvd not to dare whisper into the ears of WSR about becoming DP while they both enjoy their honeymoon in US.
You are right Gachagua, cons like you and your boss do not keep promises.
