Former Kenya Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now says his only regret is his unquestionable faith in President William Ruto, terming his dealings with him “as a Christian” had taught him a painful lesson.

 

On Saturday, Gachagua said whatever Ruto told him, he took it as the truth and acted blindly. Given a second chance, Gachagua said he would strictly deal with the President as a politician.

 

“The only regret I have is that I dealt with President Ruto as a Christian. I trusted him, I believed in him. Whatever he told me, I took it as the truth and acted blindly,” Gachagua told NTV.

 

Gachagua said he now understands why former President Uhuru Kenyatta campaigned against President Ruto in the 2022 presidential contest.

 

The former Mathira lawmaker said he had realized President Ruto’s “true identity” and would soon tell Kenyans who he is.

 

He attributed the fallout to his opposition to some of the harmful projects.

 

“I am happy Ruto has come to confirm the many negative things Uhuru used to tell us about his deputy, then I used to doubt the issues raised but not any longer. He has allowed me to serve, deal with him, and know him better and moving forward I will ensure Kenyans will get to know who he is,” Gachagua said. ,” he said.
