During the Madaraka Day celebrations held at Masinde Muliro Stadium, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua delivered a speech that underscored his unwavering support for President William Ruto, despite swirling speculations of a potential fallout within the administration. Gachagua’s address was brief but packed with a clear message of loyalty and dedication to the current government’s vision and plans for the nation.
Gachagua, standing before a crowd gathered to commemorate Kenya’s attainment of self-governance, took the opportunity to introduce President Ruto. In his introduction, Gachagua referred to Ruto as the “vision carrier” of their administration, highlighting the President’s leadership and strategic direction. The Deputy President’s words aimed to dispel any rumors about discord between him and Ruto, projecting a united front to the public.
In his speech, Gachagua stressed his role as the subordinate, acknowledging Ruto’s leadership and affirming his commitment to support the President’s agenda.

“President Ruto is the vision carrier of our administration,” Gachagua declared. “Those of us serving under him are dedicated to implementing plans that will boost our economy and uplift the lives of all Kenyans.”
Gachagua’s remarks come at a critical time, addressing rumors of a rift within the top echelons of the government. By publicly reaffirming his allegiance to Ruto, the Deputy President sought to put an end to the speculation and reassure the public and political observers of the administration’s solidarity.
The Madaraka Day celebration, which marks the day Kenya attained self-governance in 1963, served as a fitting platform for Gachagua to communicate his unwavering support. His speech highlighted the collaborative spirit within the administration and reinforced the collective commitment to the country’s progress.
As President Ruto took to the stage following Gachagua’s introduction, he echoed the sentiment of unity and shared purpose. He outlined his administration’s ongoing efforts to address economic challenges and improve infrastructure, education, and healthcare across the nation.
