"I must admit I used to drink a lot before I got saved and since I stopped drinking my things have been very good, that is how I am the Deputy President.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed that he used to drink a lot of alcohol in the past.

Speaking on Monday, May 29 in Nakuru County, the Deputy President said he quit drinking alcohol and is now a saved Christian. 

“The President, Professor Kindiki, and the rest of us, none has a problem with alcohol. I must admit I used to drink a lot before I got saved and since I stopped drinking my things have been very good, that is how I am the Deputy President.

"I ask those who drink to consider dropping it and maybe your things will get better,” Gachagua said.

The second in command at the same time said that the Kenya Kwanza government has no problems with authorized brands selling alcohol saying they are only after those selling illicit alcohol.

“None of us has a problem with alcohol, but we have a problem with poison put in bottles and described as alcohol,” said Gachagua.

The DP further warned Kenya kwanza leaders against breaking the law saying they will face the law and he will not come to their rescue.

“If you are a leader please don’t embarrass yourself by doing things that are not right because you embarrass everybody. It is a difficult situation to arrest a governor or a senator, but they must be arrested if they break the law,” Gachagua added.
