Gachagua: Gov't is a Company, Some Kenyans Are Majority Shareholders and Others Have None

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua says only those who voted for President Ruto will get appointments and contracts in the Kenya Kwanza government.

Speaking during a tour of various projects in Kericho County, Gachagua described the government as a company in which some Kenyans have shares while others have none.

He stated that the Kenya Kwanza administration will first reward those who worked to ensure Ruto clinched the presidency in the last election and others will share the leftovers.

“This government is a company that has shares. There are owners who have the majority of shares, and those with just a few, while others do not have any. You invested in this government and you must reap. You sowed, tilled, put manure and irrigated, and now it is time to reap,” Gachagua said.

Gachagua took a dig at a section of opposition leaders who started trooping to State House seeking government positions.

 “Some are criticizing me for saying those who sowed reap first, but there is nothing wrong. Their time of reaping will come some day in what remains after those who sowed have finished reaping,” he noted.

The deputy president insisted that those who voted for the other presidential candidates must learn a lesson about elections.

“Elections have significance. You cannot make noise talking ill of Ruto and after he wins you get in line to get benefits before those who were with him,” he added.
