There is no way God would have allowed Raila to defeat Ruto – DP Gachagua
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua stated that God would not have allowed Azimio's presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga to defeat President William Ruto in the just concluded polls.
Speaking at the burial service of Baringo Deputy Governor Charles Kipngok, the second-in-command claimed that the Azimio coalition promised to close down small churches upon their ascension to power.
He claims this was a direct fight with God; thus, their chances of winning the presidency became slimmer.
"There is no way God would have allowed Azimio to defeat us. They said if they win, they'll lock up all small churches. They started fighting God and the church. Their job was hard," he said.
Gachagua also maintained that the new administration will be committed to delivering and discharging its mandate to Kenyans.
He affirmed that with his boss President William Ruto, they were fully committed to working for the Kenyan people since they had no pending responsibilities.
"Sisi sio walevi, tumemaliza kusomesha watoto, hatuendi golf, yetu ni kazi kuanzia asubuhi mpaka usiku, na nliwaambia kazi itafanyika,"
This loosely translates to: ( We are not drunkards, we have finished educating our children, we do not play golf, ours is to work from morning to night time, we told you we will do our work).
He also highlighted that Ruto would focus on serious matters such as attending official trips and issues concerning the economy as he attends to trivial matters such as cattle theft.
William Ruto tumemuachia kazi ya uchumi, kazi ya kutafuta pesa, tumemuachia kazi ya kuenda ng'ambo an kutafuta wawekezajii walete pesa Kenya. Hii kazi ndogo ndogo ya wizi ya ng'ombe hiyo ni kazi ya Rigathi Gachagua," he added.
While maintaining that the new administration will deliver on its campaign promises and manifestoes, Gachagua addressed the rise in maize flour prices.
