Leave a Comment / POLITICS /

The DP denies claims that he banged the tables after he was denied an 8B payout during a meeting with his boss. According to him those claims are pure nonsense with no truth in them.  Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed the claims that he banged tables during a  meeting with his boss after he was denied an 8B payout. Speaking to a local radio station from Mt. Kenya East, the DP denied the claims terming them as sheer nonsense with no truth in the adding that he has no interest in any money. “I don’t have interest with any money. I saw yesterday the local dailies writing some nonsensical things that I banged tables at State House. They were claiming that I banged tables in demand of Ksh8 billion. I don’t have any interest in that.” According to the DP, if he wanted money he could have obtained it from the previous administration “Would I have wanted money, I could have gotten it from the previous government that was looking for me to abandon my support for William Ruto.’’ Gachagua went further to explain  that he had no motive to demand for money, noting that the only interests that he has always advanced are for the people, especially those of the Mt Kenya region who voted for the current administration. “I don’t have many needs. My wife is a pastor and I have grown-up kids who no longer need money support from me. All I care about is the interests of the people, especially these people here who had a lot of trust in me and gave us so many votes.” Only time will tell about Gachagua’s political career since a motion of his impeachment is set to be presented before the parliament this coming Tuesday.
