"Everybody knew what I said is true because you do not shoot the messenger; you deal with the message."

The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) Leader has accused President William Ruto of taking out his frustrations on him after the Head of State called him a fool and a madman.

Speaking on Saturday, October 3, Gachagua said Ruto called him names because he foiled his plan to exploit minerals on Murima Hill without following the required legal process.

He added that after he exposed the plan, the American investors who were to mine the niobium pulled out of the deal, which made the President bitter toward him.

Gachagua added that Ruto's outburst during the media engagement with journalists from the Coast Region proved his claims right.

He claimed that he outsmarted Ruto in the Ol Kalou by-elections, which he reckoned was a face-off between him and the President, who splashed billions, only to lose the poll to him and his new party.
