Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has broken his silence on the alleged Ruto-Gachagua Fallout that has been the talk of the nation for the past few weeks.
Speaking to the press on Wednesday, Owino alleged that the two leaders have no rivalry between them and they are playing games to fool kenyans who have already lost hope in their leadership.

Terming the fallout as “games and gimmicks”, Babu Owino said that the plan is to win the sympathy of Mt. Kenya residents and will pretend to reconcile before the next elections to be re-elected again.
“There is no fight here, these are games and gimmicks. I want Kenyans to remember that these people are going to work together. I want to tell Kikuyus, as Babu Owino, your son-in-law, be careful of these two musketeers.”
According to Owino, the grasp of Mt Kenya is slowly slipping away from Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and this is a plan to win back voters in his backyard.
“Therefore the only way to bring the region together is to bring the sympathy strategy where the President purports to be fighting his deputy intentionally, and they have agreed for that matter so that the people from Mt. Kenya can rally behind Gachagua.”
This comes after several kenyans claims that the Ruto-Gachagua fallout is a game by the two to divert the attention from the Finance Bill 2024 that has been controversial since it’s proposal.
