Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has hit back at accusations from President William Ruto, responding with anger and defiance. Speaking about a personal confrontation, Gachagua said, “Sasa Kasongo ameshuka mahali nilikuwa namtaka, he is not presidential anymore, nimemfinya nikamvua nguo. Sasa anaongea mambo ya Wanawake, sijui nani hajaoa, kichwa imeruka sasa anasambaza content ya bloggers.”
Gachagua’s remarks reflect deep frustration over the way personal matters are being politicized and shared publicly. He appears to criticize Ruto for shifting focus onto him while discussing broader issues, such as women’s rights, in a way that Gachagua believes is unfair or sensationalized.
This episode highlights how political rivalries in Kenya increasingly spill over into personal confrontations, with social media and bloggers amplifying every statement.
