Members of the Broad based government who are now Ruto allies have launched fresh attacks on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over his remarks on setting traps on Raila Odinga in Statehouse.
According to reports, the broad based government has alienated Rigathi Gachagua as President Ruto and his allies set on a mission to grip the Nyanza region after Raila Odinga’s entourage to the Africa Union leaving a political void in the region.
The remarks by Ruto allies come after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua strongly denied any attempts of a handshake between Raila and Ruto and claimed that he had set traps in Statehouse to prevent the same.

However, the latest developments have in a way humbled the Second In Command after Gen Z Protests forced President William Ruto and Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to work together in what seems like a handshake government.
The now Ruto allies have now taken the DP head on over his remarks as tension within the ruling party over the new favourites with Kimani Ichung’wah and Junet Mohamed pointing out the traps on Odinga remarks he made early this year.
“DP Gachagua spoke at State House the other day and said Raila must get the AU job, this time round he has not laid any traps. I was inside State House myself and I didn’t see any traps,” claimed Junet.
According to Ichung’wah, the Deputy President has found himself in the very traps that he claimed to have laid at Statehouse for Raila Odinga after the formation of broad based government.

“Is there anyone who can lay traps for Raila? Anyone who thinks they can lay traps for Baba will get caught in the traps themselves,” said Ichung’wah in a triggering message.
