DP Gachagua Woos Raila Supporters in Kilifi, Declares ‘Rais Amempanga’
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched a charm offensive in the Coastal area, pushing Raila Odinga supporters to join Kenya Kwanza and support its efforts now that the former prime minister has announced his candidacy for the African Union Commission (AUC) leadership.
Speaking in Malindi, Kilifi County, on Thursday, Gachagua said that President William Ruto’s endorsement and continued support for Raila’s campaign had all but ensured that the opposition leader would win the coveted seat.
“Mmefuata huyu mzee miaka mingi. Amejaribu kufika lakini imekuwa ngumu, Rais amempanga sasa. Huyu mzee ameumia na tukisema ukweli amejitolea kwa nchi hii. Rais ameona huyu mzee ameumia miaka mingi na ameona amtafutie nafasi; kiti cha heshima ndio siku anastaafu, astaafu na heshima,” said Gachagua.
“Ataenda akae hapo, akuwe mkubwa, akule mali yake polepole.”
With Odinga out of the picture, Gachagua said, Coast people would need a spokesperson to advocate for their concerns at the highest levels of government, and he believes Kenya Kwanza can play that role.
“Kila mtu anataka kuwa kwa serikali na hata nyinyi mliunga baba mkono, mkifikiria mtafika huko. Huyo mzee akishaondoka , sasa mjue ni rais na mimi tuko. Kujeni tukae na nyinyi; tusaidiane kwa kazi ya kuskuma maendeleo kwa sababu mzee tutakuwa tumempanga,” said the DP.
“Huyu kijana ya Sugoi (Ruto), kama aliwashinda mkiwa na system na deep state sasa akiwa rais mtamweza kweli? Msibaki kwa hewa. Lakini hiyo ni uamuzi wenu mkitaka kubaki kwa hewa ama msituni tutawaheshimu.”
