What did Raila tell Galaca about the brushing of William Ruto?
He questioned why Gachagua was traveling around the country for political missions within two and a half years after Ruto became president.
He wanted Gaita to accept the outcome of the 2022 election and wait for the right time to announce his expectations, based on the democratic principles implemented around the world.
“When the election is over, you agree and wait for the next wave. Then take yourself out of the wall, run the campaign as it is done in other nations. For example, in America, politicians wait until the end of the third year to announce whether they will compete or not,” Raila said.
The former prime minister held that the authority to decide who to lead the country belongs to the people, not individuals led by personal interests.
“This is a matter of saying you want to get people out of power … it’s Kenyans who will decide, not you,” he added.
