Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has criticised President William Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza allies for their response to criticism from church clerics.
Speaking during the celebrations of 100 years of mission work at the Presbyterian Church of East Africa Kerarapon Church inKajiado County,the former Deputy President cautioned UDA leaders against coming for church leaders, referencing the trend to that he witnessed during late former President Daniel Arap Moi’s regime.
“That culture of being arrogant and abusive to religious leaders was there in the 1990s during Moi’s regime. I can see the same pattern and we all know what the consequences were. Let’s be humble. Let’s allow our spiritual leaders to chastise us in love. To correct us when we are wrong. Let us accord respect to our church leaders.” Gachagua stated.
Gachagua furthermore appeared to take a subtle jab at President William Ruto, by issuing a warning to leaders who he claimed thought had too much power.
“You think you have too much power because you are in government. Be very careful so history does not repeat itself,” Gachagua
Few days ago a Catholic bishops’ lobby stole headlines with a critical statement calling out President Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza regime.
