Former President Aspirant George Wajackoya has shared his disappointment with the current Deputy President of Kenya, Rigathi Gachagua, wanting him to step down for misinforming the public and denying him access to the Mount Kenya Region.
Wajackoyah was speaking yesterday evening to the press when he said that he’s had enough of the dramas and inconveniences of the Deputy President and would want him to step down from that seat.
“Why should Gachagua say that we have tigers in Kenya, lying? I want Gachagua to resign for telling lies about this country.”
The above allegations originated when the Deputy President was out of the country, where he was addressing a gathering in Bogotá, urging the business community in Colombia to invest in Kenya and enjoy the rare species found there. Below are the Deputy President’s words:
“Kenya is a very warm country; we are very welcoming people, very hospitable, and we invite Colombian business people to come and invest in Kenya.
Again, as you come to invest in Kenya, we have many facilities for tourism. We have rare species of wildlife: the elephant, rhino, buffalo, and tiger.”
This brought a heated argument online that made the Deputy President apologize over the same saying that they are one but the same.
“In the Kikuyu nation, where I come from, the leopard and the tiger are one and the same.” Gachagua clarified his statement on Monday at the Boma Hotel.
Wajackoyah did also express his disappointment to Gachagua for denying him access to the Mount Kenya Region, which is the current deputy’s stronghold in terms of votes, adding that if he were to contest for a presidential seat and he were his opponent, he would be surprised at how much Mount Kenya would vote for him.
“Why do you ban people like me from going to Mount Kenya? Supposing I were to run for president with Gachagua, I would defeat him in Mount Kenya very early in the morning because he is interfering with my supporters. He is telling people not to walk with me.” Wajackoyah lamented.
Wajackoyah hinted that he is even treated way better when he is out of the country than in his own country, which treats him like an outcast, urging them to have a little sense of morality.
