“You cannot bully people for two years and start crying when your name is mentioned for one week. If you cannot respect leaders, respect the people who put them there.”
Sakaja’s sentiments comes amid rising political heat within the UDA party with various sources claiming that President William Ruto and his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua are not reading from the same page.
Earlier today, UDA party released a statement cautioning some leaders affiliated with President Ruto to desist from attacking Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over what the party SG termed as destabilising the party.
“It has come to my attention that some CS s have been involving themselves in political activities contrary to the law which requires them to remain apolitical. Cabinet Secretaries should serve people within their docket. Should you wish to engage in politics, you are welcome to resign and join the political arena.”
