Ruto ataca Gachagua chamando-o de ditador pior que colonizadores

O presidente William Ruto atacou ontem o ex-vice-presidente Rigathi Gachagua, acusando-o de suprimir os direitos democráticos dos residentes de Mt Kenya. Ele chamou Gachagua de ditador pior que colonizadores e traficantes de escravos. As declarações foram feitas no Rubate Teachers College, no condado de Tharaka-Nithi.

O presidente William Ruto discursou no Rubate Teachers College, no condado de Tharaka-Nithi, referindo-se a Rigathi Gachagua como um ditador. Ele descreveu Gachagua como pior que colonizadores e traficantes de escravos, acusando-o de tentar controlar a vida dos cidadãos. "Existem líderes que pensam que sabem tudo e que podem controlar nossas vidas. No passado, tivemos traficantes de escravos e colonizadores, mas eles tinham algum limite. Alguns líderes hoje os superaram", disse Ruto.

Ruto afirmou que não cederia à pressão política de Gachagua e que ninguém o impediria de cumprir seus deveres em qualquer lugar. Ele enfatizou o trabalho para espalhar o desenvolvimento por todas as áreas, independentemente de votos. Ele acusou Gachagua de querer decidir quem se encontra com quem e de rotular outros como traidores.

Ele estava acompanhado pelo Prof. Kithure Kindiki, pelo governador de Tharaka-Nithi, Muthomi Njuki, pela governadora de Kirinyaga, Anne Waiguru, por Cecily Mbarire de Embu e pela ministra de Terras, Alice Wahome. Ruto elogiou Kindiki como um vice-presidente melhor do que ele mesmo havia sido, observando sua responsabilidade mesmo sob o ex-presidente Uhuru Kenyatta.

O Prof. Kindiki criticou Gachagua por se autoproclamar líder de Mt Kenya sem apresentar resultados. "Você não se declara líder, porque seu trabalho lhe confere respeito", disse Kindiki, acrescentando que a liderança será decidida pelos eleitores em 2027. Ruto descartou os oponentes como sendo cheios de insultos e arrogância, sem um histórico de desempenho.
