Former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua has continued his onslaught on President William Ruto, whom he accuses of perpetuating immorality among leaders.
In the recent past, the president has petitioned Kenyan parents to guide their children on morals; this is in response to the emergence of insolent digital cartoons designed by government critics to ridicule him.
Speaking at a Nairobi church on Sunday, January 12, Gachagua accused Ruto of treating Kenyans to double standards.
The former deputy president wondered why the president seemed bothered about the moral conduct of the Kenyan children while failing to tame the tongues of the politicians loyal to him.

Gachagua revealed that the outspoken politicians who accompany Ruto to rallies are always instructed by him to hurl insults at those deemed government critics.
"Don't blame those leaders. I have stayed with the president, and I know him. When you see those politicians insulting people, the president laughs behind them. He is always the one who sends them," said Gachagua.
He accused the president of stewarding a team of politicians who accuse Kenyans on a daily.
Gachagua told Ruto not to expect decency from Kenyans, yet those in his circles talk down on Kenyans.
"He (Ruto) should not complain about insults. He is the one who started. He abused Uhuru Kenyatta, a drunkard, called Raila Odinga a witch; now he is sending his MPs to abuse Kenyans; they are the ones who have taught young Kenyans how to insult," he said.
He petitioned the president to stop the abductions of Kenyans over such frivolous matters as cartoons and AI photos ridiculing some of the government leaders.
