“My people of Mathira, thank you for walking this journey with me and holding me up in prayers… I will miss you and I love you but I will be around. You have a place, a big one in my heart,” Gachagua

Gachagua who was speaking during a thanksgiving prayer ceremony held at Victors Chapel in Karatina on Sunday, August 8, said he had done the best he could as a legislator.

While exuding confidence that he will be the second Deputy President, the Mathira MP further promised to prioritize the development projects that were initiated under his regime.

“We have done what we could and I wish we could have done more. We have constructed schools and feeder roads and many more … For the roads that are still under construction, I will make sure they are completed when I assume the duty,

“Even as we undertake national duties, I will never forget where it all began. Charity begins at home,” Gachagua said.

He further accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of abandoning his people in the hour of need saying it is too late for him to talk to them as he exits the office.

“I want to communicate to the outgoing president, please don’t call us your people. You abandoned us, forgot about us. You were not there when we needed you. How can you come to cry to us when you have two days to retire? Why didn’t you talk to us five years ago?” Gachagua posed.
