Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has extended an olive leaf to retired president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Gachagua who was speaking during the burial of former police boss King’ori Mwangi stated that politics was over and he had no personal issues with the former head of of state.
“I was looking forward to meeting my friend and former boss President Uhuru Kenyatta. I wanted to come and greet him because I have not seen him for a while and tell him it is well. He is our son, we had some little disagreements but it’s over,” Gachagua said.
He reiterated the need to put their differences aside, adding that the years they have worked together transcends the number of years they differed on opinions.
The two have been bitter rivals after falling apart in 2019. However, the Deputy President has recently softened his stance.
In November last year, he affirmed that the Kenya Kwanza government no longer had any issues with former President Uhuru Kenyatta. “President Uhuru Kenyatta is our son from Kiambu.
“He served as our fourth President. We had differences with him, but those differences are now in the past. He has retired, returned home, and kept a low profile, and we respect his decision,” Gachagua remarked.
