Monday, July 1, 2024 – The fallout between President William Ruto and his Deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, became evident yesterday after Rift Valley leaders refused to attend the DP’s event in Bomet.
Addressing the congregation, Bomet Governor Hillary Bachok revealed that no MP in the county attended the event that was graced by Gachagua.
Gachagua had travelled to Bomet County where he was the chief guest at a fundraising event at Deliverance Church International in Kaplong.
According to Barchok, none of the lawmakers showed up yet he only received an apology from Linet Chepkorir Toto, Bomet Woman Representative, for failing to attend.
"I am sorry Your Excellency, I only received one apology from Toto, Woman Rep, I don't see my MPs.
"I don't know whether they have been instructed not to associate with the Deputy President or not," he told the congregation of which Gachagua was a member.
"I want to start by saying that if you want to unite the country, let us embrace everybody even if we have different opinions."
However, Barchok told the second in command that he held a meeting with the youth before arriving at the church and spelled out some of their demands, especially from Generation Z.
"It is beyond the finance bill. Actually, the Finance Bill gave them an avenue to air out their issues and we support the youth forum that the President put in place," he stated.
