DP Rigathi Gachagua said the "marriage" is still intact and that it will soon bear children.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has deflated the assertion that there are cracks in the ruling Kenya Kwanza alliance, particularly in the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

The deputy president said that despite the internal wrangles in the political outfit, all was well thus no need for anxiety.

Rigathi said the alliance was built over time and based on purpose and thus it cannot be swayed by minor happenings in the course of the journey.

Using the analogy of marriage, the deputy president insisted that the formation led by President William Ruto would not disintegrate any soon and that "it will live to bear children" in the long run.

"Our marriage is doing fine because it was a result of a long courtship. We courted each other and saw we could co-exist. On August 9, a grand wedding was held and God gave blessings to that wedding, and the people of Kenya witnessed and agreed it is a good one. The wedding is permanent until death does us part," he said.

He said the happenings in the Senate and National Assembly during the election of EALA MPs last week depicted the rudiments of democracy where members of the same formation can disagree.

The deputy president spoke on Saturday, November 19, in Nyeri where he graced the 11th graduation fete of the Outspan Medical College.
