President William Ruto has in his latest statements contradicted his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua backing Oscar Sudi after telling MPs to move around the country in a bid to understand their oversight role.
In a statement in Bungoma today, President William Ruto encouraged leaders including Sudi to get out of their constituencies contrary to Rigathi Gachagua who on the same issue told MPs to stay in their constituencies.

“MPs have three duties which must be adhered to. One is about their constituencies and the other two are about the nation of Kenya. For MPs to understand their oversight role, you have a duty to move around the country.”
This comes days after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua cautioned MPs, specifically Oscar Sudi whom he accused of “political tourism” and told MPs to stay in their elected constituencies after accusing the MP of meddling in Mt Kenya politics.
“I want to advise Members of Parliament from this region, everyone should protect and stay in his constituency. We don’t want political tourism in our party (UDA),” Gachagua fumed.
However, President Ruto in his address seemed to disagree with his deputy in a statement that has deepened misunderstanding between the ruling party that has been goin on for weeks.
“Get out of your constituency, go to the next place and understand Kenya. So that when you perform your oversight role including projects from outside your constituency, you have an understanding.”
Even though Deputy President has mantained that he will help his boss deliver his mandate to the people of Kenya, their statements have been conflicting raising suspicions of trouble in paradise.
