"We didn’t support Kenya Kwanza so that you can look for and unite with the people we defeated."

Lawyer Miguna Miguna has chastised Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua after he revealed he is planning to hold talks with retired president Uhuru Kenyatta.

In a statement via his X account on Monday, October 9, Miguna said he campaigned for the Kenya Kwanza government because he wanted the former President made accountable together with Azimio leader Raila Odinga.

“DP Rigathi: We campaigned and voted for Kenya Kwanza and William Ruto because we wanted Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga defeated and made to account for all the crimes they committed against the People of Kenya. We didn’t support Kenya Kwanza so that you can look for and unite with the people we defeated,” said Miguna.

Gachagua on Friday during an interview said he would reach out to Uhuru to bury the hatchet for the sake of Mt Kenya unity.

The DP also said he directed leaders from the Mt Kenya region to respect Uhuru and his family.

"Kenyatta was fronting Raila Odinga for the presidency and he lost. We have now decided to embrace him as our respectable son and statesman despite everything. As Mt Kenya leaders, we have agreed not to be fighting him and I'm planning to hold talks with him. I have ordered everyone to respect him and he is also doing good to keep his peace,” Gachagua stated.

He also commended the former Head of State for staying away from the political scene adding that his status as an elder should prohibit him from the political theatrics.
