Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on January 5, took to social media to show support for Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya.
Gachagua in his post urged the Governor not to listen to naysayers and instead keep fighting for the residents of Trans Nzoia County.
“My dear brother Governor Natembeya, please do not let the court poets and masters of platitude distract you from the work you are doing of delivering to the people of Trans-Nzoia County.These Court Jesters are on the misguided assignment of providing comic relief to their master. And do not be cowed from speaking out on behalf of the people of Kenya when necessary,” he wrote.
According to the former DP, all the backlash the Governor was receiving resulted from the impact he was making by speaking the truth.
He went on to urge Natembeya to keep up the good work and not be cowed by any rants and tirades being thrown at him.
“My prayer is that you will continue to do so, and to unite your people and protect their dignity and political pride.This unity, I assure you, will ensure that your people’s interests are always front and centre of the focus of any administration. May God continue to be with you.”
This comes a few days after Natembeya made audacious remarks to the President regarding the abductions that attracted a barrage of criticism from several other political leaders.
After his remark the Governor received a lot of criticism from other politicians among them being National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah who accused the former police regional commander of leading the abductions during his tenure.
