Ruto tells off Gachagua, defends drought mitigation, says no regrets

President William Ruto has dismissed attacks by his former deputy Rigathi Gachagua over the government’s development agenda for Northern Kenya, insisting his administration is deliberate and equitable in developing all parts of the country. The president’s response follows remarks by Gachagua, who accused him of an inadequate response to the biting drought in the region and failure to deliver on campaign promises. Gachagua was also the subject of a scathing rebuttal from his successor and the CS for Health, who now wants to debate Gachagua.
