Kenya’s Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has advised Kenya’s President William Samoei Ruto against holding his wife Rachael Ruto’s.
Rigathi Gachagua, who was addressing a gathering at Safari Park where the country was holding a national prayer day, asked President Ruto to consider switching things now that he is in the country, referring to the moment when he was holding Rachael’s hand, an incident he says has caused a stir in the country because they were actually not doing what he was doing in the states.
Why Gachagua felt President Ruto’s style caused a stir in the country
“Your excellency, allow me as a truthful man to tell you, there was some little challenge, rising from your trip to most of us here, all Kenyans were monitoring what you were doing in the states…
There was something that you were doing here that created problems for many husbands across the country. When you were walking there holding the hand of the first lady, it put us back here under a lot of pressure. Our spouses, led by mine, pst. Dorcas, were demanding we emulate the president and hold their hand. But the matter is now sorted; that was an American thing.”
He, however, appreciated and congratulated the Kenyan President on his 4-day tour trip to the states, admitting that he presented the country in the right way.
“Allow me to tell you just a little about your successful trip in the United States. Kenyans are very proud of the way you presented us in that great country. Your speech. Hiyo kizungu likua sawa kabisa. And Kenyans were very happy that you put Kenya on the world map and the gains that you negotiated for the country.” Gachagua said.
