"Sisi ni watu wa kutafuta pesa, hapo ndio tunakuanga, ndio maana tuliunga Rais mkono, alipotueleza akona mpango ya vile tutapata pesa, tulikubali. Si mnajua pesa ni sabuni ya roho? The DP posed.

The DP at the same time said chastised Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga over anti-government protests noting that he is ready to deal with him head-on.

“Huyo mzee wa maadamano alisema ataenda kuvamia State House, rais amemngoja kuliko kuenda pale kuonana na rais ameenda kuvamia mali ya watu. Si kama yeye ni mwanaume angeenda pale akutane na rais. Kama umeogopa kukutana na rais hapana haribu mali ya watu, kuja kwangu,” said Gachagua.

He added,”Kama hujui Kimani Ichun’gwah na Ndindi Nyoro na mimi enda utafte Uhuru Kenyatta umuulize sisi ni rangi gani. Huyo mzee awachane na Nyoro na Inchungwah anikujie tuekezane mambo mawili matatu.”
