Rigathi Gachagua, Deputy President, has told Azimio leader Raila Odinga that the government has no business with him.
Speaking during a Church service at Karigu-ini in Kenol Murang’a on Sunday, Gachagua added that Raila should concentrate on his opposition role of overseeing the government.
“Yesterday we heard Raila saying that he will not be coaxed or intimidated to joining our government. We have no business with you in our government, we are not interested and we are not looking for you we have no time, “Gachagua said.
According to Gachagua, Raila should stop claiming that he is being forced to join the government.
“They should be in opposition to oversight the government by informing us where we are wrong and pushing us in parliament for us to move forward as a country,” Gachagua said.
According to the DP, the government has enough people and does not require assistance.
Raila, speaking in Kisumu on Saturday, lashed out at the current administration, claiming that people were being told to join the government in order to get or have development projects in their areas.
“We cannot be threatened to join the government, which government?” he questioned.
He stated that the constitution clearly states that we have two levels of government: national and county.
“If you are leading a county government. You are in government, which one again do they want you to get into?” Raila questioned.
He stated that counties receive allocations from the national government because they are required by law.
Gachagua stated that the government has enough people and does not require assistance.
