Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has rubbished Former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s recent remarks on the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Speaking during the Joint National Executive Retreat and Parliamentary Group consultative meeting, Naivasha, Nakuru on Monday, February 19, the Second in Command, advised President William to examine what happened in the past, contrary to Uhuru’s remarks.
Justifying his sentiments, Gachagua noted that looking and analysing what happened in the past is one form of promoting an all-inclusive government.
“I heard somebody saying that you should not look at the rear mirror because the inventor of the motor vehicle was not mad to put the rear mirror. In your leadership, you have made it very clear that no Kenyan will be left behind, so you must continuously look at the rear mirror to make sure that all Kenyans are on board and are not left behind,” Gachagua insisted.
Moreover, Gachagua indicated that Ruto must focus on the past to ensure that those planning to derail his government are well dealt with.
“Again, there are those people who like to puncture your vehicle and remove goods, you must continuously look at the rear mirror so that you can see anyone who wants to derail your vehicle,” the Deputy President stated.
Additionally, Gachagua indicated that Ruto was moving fast in his government delivery agenda noting that it was wise to focus on the past to bring all the leaders on board.
Speaking on Saturday, Uhuru said leaders who focus on the past will not take the country anywhere. He insisted that only leaders who have visions can provide solutions to the challenges Kenyans are experiencing.
Uhuru made it clear that the Kenya Kwanza administration was going to lead Kenyans into the ditch for focusing on the past.
“Kenya is home. We wish those who are there well but when I was in leadership I used to tell people one thing, if you are a leader you have been given a steering wheel to drive if it is Nyandarua county, if it is this constituency, if it is Kenya or anywhere. A good leader holds the steering wheel and looks ahead, not every time looking at the rearview to see where they have come from,” Uhuru said.
“You look ahead. If you are a person driving a car looking at the rearview, you are a person who drives the car into a ditch. You are going nowhere. You are taking the country nowhere. The country needs leaders who have vision because that is what will be useful to solve the problems Kenyans are facing,” Uhuru said.
