He said that the president also promised him security and good pay if he agreed to resign. However, Gachagua emphasized that he rejected the offer of the National Leader.

Gachagua said that even the MPs around him could not persuade him to resign.

He explained that he did not have to contest any political position in the future, since the resignation would be seen as a self -interest.

“I don't have to be a political leader. However, I have to commit to defending Kenyans and exposing the truth. There are many people who can lead Kenyans. I will be one of the squad,” he added.

The former deputy president continued to insist that he was not disappointed, as his case of ouster is still in court.

He compared himself to Ruto and former president Uhuru Kenyattawho ran for the presidency while facing a case in the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

“The Kenyan Constitution is clear. It says that anyone with a case in court cannot be deprived of the right to contest for political position. So, if I want to contest, I can contest. He insisted.
