Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has waded into former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s woes, throwing shade at Gachagua who was hounded from office by his own party.
Addressing a gathering during ODM Deputy Party Leader Godfrey Osotsi’s Thanksgiving ceremony, Raila left the crowd reeling in laughter after his narration of how Gachagua embarked on a futile mission to ensnare him with traps only to end up being the victim.
“A trap was set up to catch a mouse, but the one who set up the trap was the one who went down.”
He further noted how Gachagua went about thumping his chest and declaring himself as the gatekeeper of the State House who would ensure no cooperation between Odinga and the Kenya Kwanza regime.
“He went to State House talking about how he was setting up a trap for Baba. He said there would be no handshake, no coalition government (Nusu mkate). Where is Gachagua now?”
Months before Gachagua’s impeachment, the former DP hailed the success of his traps and declared that they were effective to a point that Raila’s first meeting with President William Ruto had to be outside the country.
“My traps were working very well because even that time they decided to meet, they did so in Uganda as they watched Museveni’s big horned cattle,’’ Gachagua noted.
Shortly afterwards, Rigathi Gachagua was impeached as the Second in Command and swiftly replaced with Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
