The Sunday Standard has reported that Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is maintaining an enigmatic stance, carefully guarding his actions and plans amidst allegations of a cold war between him and President William Ruto.
According to the local newspaper, DP Gachagua has adopted a strategy of deception, designed to mislead both his allies and adversaries in the political arena, thereby ensuring his unpredictability.
The report suggests that Gachagua is deliberately wearing a “deception mask” to obscure his true intentions and movements.
This tactic is ostensibly aimed at keeping political opponents off balance and safeguarding his strategic plans from becoming public knowledge.
Publicly, DP Gachagua has asserted his commitment to the welfare of the Mt. Kenya region, declaring that his primary focus is on enriching the local community.
He has dismissed engagement in “petty issues” and “sideshows,” indicating that his priorities lie in substantive economic and social development rather than political theatrics.
Despite the public display of unity, rumors persist about underlying tensions between Gachagua and President Ruto.
The most notable of these rumors involves the recent Limuru III meeting, which led to the formation of the Uhuru Na Haki coalition.
This coalition aims to advocate for the interests of the Mt. Kenya region, raising questions about Gachagua’s loyalty and long-term political ambitions.
Some insiders claim that Gachagua played a significant role in financing the Limuru III meeting, suggesting a strategic move to consolidate support within the Mt. Kenya region. If true, this development could indicate a more complex and potentially contentious relationship with President Ruto than publicly acknowledged.
In response to these allegations, DP Gachagua has reiterated his allegiance to President Ruto, emphasizing their close partnership. “I am joined with Ruto to a point that nobody under the sun can separate us,” he stated, attempting to dispel any notions of discord.
The unfolding situation highlights the intricate dynamics of Kenyan politics, where alliances and rivalries often shift rapidly.
As Gachagua continues to navigate these turbulent waters, his actions will undoubtedly be scrutinized by both supporters and critics alike. Whether his strategy of deception will ultimately benefit his political career or lead to further controversy remains to be seen.
