Therefore, if you want peace, apologize to the people. It's not me; I have no problem. I am only the chosen one. Now, if you remove me after being elected, don't you think you have wronged those who elected me?” Gachagua said during a service at Kanyuambora Secondary School in Mbeere on Friday, January 3.
