For the first time in the political season, Deputy president William Ruto’s running mate Rigathi Gachagua nailed it and proven his capacity as a wort running mate during the deputy presidential candidate debate that happened on Tue, 19th June 2022 at the Catholic University of East Africa.
In his crafted answers to the questions asked by the panelists, he described how he and his principle will deal with state capture and corruption in their leadership, a thing that has revealed why and how Kenyans got themselves in the suffering and tribulations of the high cost of living and unemployment.
Many people have since changed their mind and choosen to follow the bottom up economy manifesto which Gachagua and his principle are spearheading in their Kenya Kwanza alliance headed by the UDA party.
Kenya goes into the elections in less than 18 days.
We wish Kenyans the best as they go into the ballot, and would like to remind them that peace is the only thing that Kenya needs above all others.
