Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked Azimio leader Raila Odinga to respect former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking at a church service in Mpeketoni, Lamu County, on Sunday, Gachagua accused Raila of “downgrading” the former president by involving him in public rallies.
“We forgive him for many things, but not for misleading Uhuru Kenyatta,” he said.
Gachagua cited an incident in which Uhuru accompanied Raila to a public rally in Nyanza following the burial of former Education CS George Magoha.
“Please respect our former President. Even if he (Uhuru) was misled and the economy was ruined, he is our respected leader. We want his respect to be upheld, he should not be taken to rallies. It ruins our respect as Kenyans,” Gachagua said.
