National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah has taken on deputy president Rigathi Gachagua after the latter claimed that he was in a 'different league' with President William Ruto.
During a development tour in Kirinyaga County on Saturday, August 10, Gachagua asked MPs to 'play their league', claiming that some of them were engaged in divisive politics in the Mt. Kenya region.
"I ask the MPs to do their work. The work of the presidency is mine and the president's. We're the ones with a say and if we haven't said anything, others should keep quiet. Concentrate on your job and let the president and deputy president play their league. Don't bring divisive politics into this region," Gachagua remarked.
However, in a rejoinder, Ichung'wah told off the deputy president that the president was way above 'his league'.

"League? Which league? President William Ruto ain’t in that league. Way above. Deal with your situation," Ichung'wah stated.
While in Kirinyaga, Gachagua further noted that the people of Mt Kenya had invested in President Ruto's government.
He asked leaders not to make divisive statements that confuse the public.
“The people of Mt. Kenya, this is our government. We invested in this government. I’ve heard people saying that we should leave the government. How can we leave our own government? I want to ask leaders not to make statements that confuse the public,” Gachagua stated.
