Deputy President Gachagua attends church service in Bomet

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is attending a church fundraising in Sotik constituency, Bomet County.

Kaplong’ is a few kilometres from Lorigorian where William Ruto is attending a separate church service.

The DP is accompanied by a host of MPs who have pledged allegiance to him in the wake of the alleged fallout with President William Ruto.

Gachagua is being hosted by county governor Hillary Barchok a day after the DP attended another fundraiser in Maragua, Murang’a county.

”We thank God where we have reached, the journey has not been easy,” Barchok said in his speech at the church.

The DP is accompanied by MPs from Rift Valley who support him including Emurr Dikir’s Johana Ng’eno, Kajiado Senator Seki Lenku and Peter Kihungi of Kangema.

On Saturday, Gachagua rubbished claims that his push for One man, One shilling would deny other regions resources.

The DP said it was unfortunate that some people were misrepresenting what he said was a genuine formula to ensure a fair share of national resources.

”Why is it that when we talk about sharing resources, it is about tribalism, it is simply being reasonable, it is a good argument,” Gachagua said.

The DP said the one man, one shilling is not a formula only for the Mount Kenya region but for the ”whole Republic.”

“I want to ask our leaders who represent regions where there are many people not to oppose this formula, how do you oppose a formula that is good for your people,” he said in Muragua on Saturday.

He was officiating a fund drive in aid of school-going children in Mary Wa Maua’s constituency.
