Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has continued to defend his push for Mt Kenya unity.
Speaking during the launch of the Bahati’s Empire Reality Show on Thursday, June 6, 2024 Gachagua expressed that it would be difficult to unite the country without uniting respective communities.
He explained that he was only using the bottom-up approach as was championed by the President and his team in the run to the 2022 elections.
“I am focused on uniting my people so that they unite with the people of Kenya. As they say, charity begins at home. There is no way Kenya can be united unless we do it the bottom-up way,” Gachagua stated.
“You cannot unite from the top, it cannot work. Much as we are working on the economy through the bottom up, the unity of the country is also bottom up.”
“Everybody comes from somewhere. People who speak one language have certain things that are peculiar to them. People of the same tongue need to share their thoughts using the same tongue before joining others to talk about Kenya,” he added.
