Why did Gachagua show doubt in Kindiki?
Speaking during the church service, Gachagua claimed that he is the only one who defends the citizens of Kenya within the administration of Kenya First.
Gachagua expressed doubt in Kindiki's ability to defend the people, insisting that, unlike an elected leader, the appointment of Kindiki by the President William Ruto you limit his ability to challenge the president's decisions.
Gachagua suggested that his successor is only an employee of the president, who has the duty to follow the decisions of the head of state regardless of their impact on the country.
“I want to ask our government to listen to us who were elected by the people, I was the only one speaking in the government, the one who was given my seat cannot speak because he is an employee of the president. There is nothing he can do. They say what the president says,” Gachagua said.
The former vice president expressed shock at the lawmakers who approved the 2024 Finance Bill despite public opposition.
He claimed that he was the only member of the Cabinet who opposed the complex bill, saying he listened closely to the concerns of Kenyans during protest of the street.
“I told the president that Kenyans do not want anything related to the 2024 Finance Bill. I begged him not to push Kenyans because they will cause us problems. However, the president objected and said that we cannot do what is popular with the people. We are doing what is right,” Gachagua revealed.
Gachagua urged the Kenyan government to first listen to the concerns of Kenyans and fulfill their wishes.
Was the Kindiki speech rejected in Murang'a?
This happened after the mourners at the funeral of the deceased MCA Mark Wainaina ignore Kindiki's honor, while shouting at the deputy president's representative.
The Kindiki delegate faced objections from the audience, who started laughing as soon as the honor of the vice president was mentioned.
He was determined to push the tax through the noise, but the miscreants became stubborn, prompting an intervention from the religious leader leading the funeral service.
After calming the audience, the priest asked the speaker to give a speech in Yiddish directly to the family.
