DP Rigathi Gachagua has urged Kenyans to stop blaming retired president Uhuru Kenyatta for the problems the country is facing.
Speaking during a radio and Tv interview, the second in command said Kenyans should let Uhuru enjoy his retirement in peace.
According to him, Uhuru was embarrassed while handing over power to the current president William Ruto.
“He went to Kasarani embarrassed and handed over the sword. Now it has been two years since then, why are we still blaming him for our problems like the economy? Let us leave him alone,” he said.
“Let him rest and for us, the problems we have as a government we should handle them ourselves.”
He vowed to protect Uhuru from being disrespected. He also urged the government to provide him with his retirement benefits.
“I will not let Uhuru Kenyatta’s name be dragged through the mud ever again because I am the one who will defend him now. We want Uhuru’s name to be respected because he did a lot of work in this country,’Â Gachagua said.
He added that , “Let him be given his retirement benefits, his cars and his bodyguards.”
