“Do you know our hyenas? Do you know them? Do you know them? Now our people with everything that is going on, is there something that you don't know? You know who the hyenas are in this story, and you know. Fools beating their wives despite hardships, I will stand firm for this government, and I will not move ” Gachagua said.

“I don't know many things. I'm not very smart, but I'm not stupid either. There's something I know and when the time is right I'll talk,” said the vice president.
