On Saturday, December 14, Mutuse told the funeral gathering that the gifts ranged from road projects to Government appointments and the hiring of teachers and other workers from the area.

The paving of the 45 kilometer road, which the MPs said should start in February 2025, will be the first new road project by the Ruto administration in the county.
The first-time member of parliament, who was elected on the Maendeleo Chap Chap party ticket, said the road project was part of a give-and-take solution with Ruto after the member of parliament made a motion to fire Gachagua.
“Gachagua was planning to send KSh2 billion, which the government received from China, to Mt. Kenya to pave Mau Mau roads. After firing him, the President told me we will pave the Emali-Ukia road,” Mutuse said.

He brushed aside critics who accused Uhuru of cooperating with the Ruto administration, insisting that Uhuru, being a former president, has experience and can advise the government on important issues.
“Both made statements after the meeting because the fourth president stands higher than the others,” he said.
However, Kalonzo confronted Ruto's statement which lacked some aspects discussed between the two at Uhuru's home, Ichaweri, Gatundu.
“For example, among the important issues that Uhuru highlighted in his statement is the need to have strong opposition. But I did not see similar remarks in Ruto's statement,” Kalonzo pointed out.
