Don't Insult Kenyans - DP Gachagua Tells Leaders Who Are Now 'Wealthy' [Video]

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked leaders in the government to respect Kenyans who elected them even if they're now 'wealthy'. 

Speaking on Friday, June 14, in Ruai, Kasarani Constituency, Nairobi County, the DP said it was wrong for some leaders to ignore their mandate and instead, take to misleading and stepping on the people who look up to them for solutions for their challenges.

"I want to ask all leaders in Kenya to stop insulting Kenyans. When we eat and get full, let us not vomit on them," remarked Gachagua. 

The Deputy President added, "I have heard some leaders disrespecting the people that elected them. Kindly respect wananchi. Even if you are now wealthy, don’t fall into the temptation of spitting and disrespecting those who don’t have anything. Kindly give them respect even if they don’t have anything like you do." 

Gacgahua told leaders to focus on serving Kenyans and improving their lives. 

A section of leaders who accompanied the Deputy President to Ruai led by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei took a swipe at National Assembly leader Kimani Ichung'wah for 'disrespecting' the Gachagua. 

While demanding that Ichung'wah respect the Deputy President, Senator Cherargei demanded that he be relieved of his duties in parliament. 

“Kimani Ichung’wa has become a divisive figure in the National Assembly, in Parliament, and in Kenya. I urge members of the National Assembly to take the necessary steps to relieve him of his seat,” the Nandi Senator stated.
