Gachagua now accuses Ruto of paying off MPs in fresh tirade

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has continued attacks against his former boss President William Ruto, accusing him of bribing Members of Parliament to support his administration.

Gachagua claimed the President is using the ongoing recruitment of teachers to “buy”  the support of the lawmakers.

Addressing a church congregation in Naivasha Sunday, Gachagua claimed MPs have been dishing out appointment letters they were given by the President to in turn support his government. 

Gachagua, who was accompanied by some MPs, claimed the ongoing recruitment of teachers was marred with irregularities and graft.

Addressing the worshippers, Gachagua lashed out at Ruto for using cash and goodies on some leaders as the electorate continued to suffer.

He noted that all capital projects started by the previous government had stalled as the President continued with his campaigns across the country.

“Some MPs and senators are being bribed by cash and appointment letters in the employment of teachers as major roads, water and electricity projects collapse,” Gachagua said.

The former DP  took issue with the move to reopen all second generation liquor companies that were closed down for brewing poisonous brews.

He noted that during his tenure, he closed down 56 companies and only two were left operating. But this, he said, had changed with top government officers supporting their reopening.

Among those who accompanied Rigathi were MPs Wanjiku Muhia, Mary Wamaua, Edward Mureu, James Gakuya and Joe Nyutu (Senator Murang’a).
