"We have no problem (with the formation of a broad-based Government by the President); we are contented with his decision. Let the new nominees come we work together for the people of Kenya. My work is to support the President, be loyal, advise, and work with him," said the Deputy President.
At the same time, Gachagua urged Kenyans to participate in governance and decision-making processes.
"Voters and Kenyans in general should start questioning their leaders to enhance accountability in governance and make the leaders accountable on the decisions they make on public issues. The political leaders that are being used to pull others down and drive a wedge in the Mt Kenya community should be cautious because their mission will fail," he stated.
