Friday, March 17, 2023 – Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed why he has not yet occupied the official residence of the second in command situated in Karen.
In an interview with Mt Kenya vernacular radio stations on Friday, Gachagua said the DP’s official residence, which is reported to have cost taxpayers Ksh.400 million, is in a dilapidated state after it was neglected by the former regime of President Uhuru Kenyatta following a fallout with the then-Deputy President William Ruto.
Gachagua said that a section of the rooftop was leaking, and the toilets are broken down further stating that President Ruto’s family at the time he was DP had been forced to move to one corner of the house during rains.
“Even if I would want to move into the DP’s residence, that place is inhabitable.”
“I found Ruto staying in a house where the roof is leaking… They had even moved into a corner house together with the wife.”
“The toilets were dilapidated because the DP’s office had been denied funding for five years,” said Gachagua.
DP Gachagua further stated that the borehole pump had also broken down and that no repairs and maintenance had been done, something he said was meant to punish President Ruto.
“The borehole had spoilt, he used to pay for electricity from his own pocket.”
“That man (Ruto) indeed has a big heart… He was oppressed but he never spoke out.”
“The residence had no water. It was just a shell,” said Gachagua.
He added:
“Even if I wanted to move to that house, I have no money to repair it but I’m fine with where I’m currently living.”
