"Had you sought my opinion, I would have respectfully asked you to also address the issue of state capture."

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has called on President William Ruto to set up another meeting with Chief Justice Martha Koome. 

Speaking on Tuesday, January 23 during the opening of the Gilgil Technical College in Nakuru County, Gachagua said President Ruto should discuss with CJ Koome about State Capture in the country and how to tackle it.

DP Gachagua pointed out that State Capture is hurting the country more than corruption.

“Even if you met with the Chief Justice and discussed matters of corruption, had you sought my opinion, I would have respectfully asked you to also address the topic of state capture as it is more corrosive than even corruption.

"Going forward, I would like to request your excellence you invite the Chief Justice to come for three to four hours to discuss state capture and plan how to end it,” said Gachagua.
