On the other hand, Gachagua argued that Karua's fight for justice has earned his respect even though they have not been on the same side politically.
The former deputy president stated that he was looking forward to working with the NARC Kenya leader to form a formidable alliance.
"I have come to believe that as much as the tumultuous world of political rivalry might frequently overshadow the possibility of collaboration, the lessons we continue to learn along the way oftentimes also provide opportunities for erstwhile political rivals to work together and leverage diverse perspectives and experiences to effect meaningful change.
"It is within this background that I genuinely look forward to working together with my sister Martha Karua to forge a formidable team that will work together and with others for the betterment of our country," Gachagua stated.
