Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has warned President William Ruto against blaming former President Uhuru Kenyatta for his political woes, saying the challenges facing his administration are of his own making.Speaking during a tour of Nakuru on Friday, Gachagua said the Ruto administration should take responsibility for the challenges facing the country instead of pointing fingers at Uhuru.Gachagua urged Ruto to focus on his political opponents, describing himself as the President’s fiercest competitor and vowing to remove him from office in next year’s General Election.\u201cKasongo amekwama, ameenda Eldoret, analilia watu wao waseme tutam. Anawaambia shida yake ni Uhuru Kenyatta. Kasongo, achana na Uhuru Kenyatta. Uhuru alikuachia nchi iko na imani. Baada ya miaka nne, umeleta goons, ukasuspend rule of law na kuleta wakora kutawala Kenya,\u201d Gachagua alleged.\u201cShida yako ni wewe, umejiletea wewe mwenyewe. Uhuru hashindani na wewe, hatakuwa kwa debe. Yule mpinzani wako ni Gachagua, ndiye utapambana na yeye.\u201dGachagua predicted a landslide victory for the Opposition in the 2027 General Election, saying the outcome would amount to a vote of no confidence in Ruto’s administration.\u201cMimi nitapambana na wewe. Nimekukimbiza, wewe unalia kama panya ameshikwa na mtego. Kazi ya Mlima nimemaliza, sasa nimeingia Narok. Nimekufukuza Narok,\u201d Gachagua stated.\u201cUlikuwa unanifukuza, hunijui vizuri. Nilikuwa nanyamaza, najifanya mjinga. Huyu ulifukuza ndiye atakuja kukutoa katika kiti cha urais.\u201dGachagua’s remarks come a day after President Ruto accused Uhuru of financing the Opposition in an attempt to undermine his administration.Speaking to residents in Eldoret on Thursday, Ruto claimed that Uhuru had failed to address issues such as affordable housing and universal health coverage during his presidency and had now resorted to supporting efforts to remove him from office.\u201cMkipima wale watu, ule sponsor wao, alishindwa na maneno ya Affordable Housing? Alishindwa na mambo ya Universal Health Coverage? Alishindwa na maneno ya kusomesha watoto wetu?\u201d Ruto posed.\u201cSasa ameenda kupanga vibaraka wake, anatuma hapa watu kuja kushindana na mimi. Hawa watu nitawaosha asubuhi na mapema. Wale watu, umeskia maono ama sera zao? Wale majamaa hawana mpango, sera, agenda na hata akili.\u201dThe President said his administration should be judged by its record, accusing the Opposition of relying on slogans such as \u201cone term\u201d and \u201cmust go\u201d without presenting a clear alternative agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
