During the broadcast on Wednesday, March 25, Trevor seemed dissatisfied with Gachagua’s choice of words, warning him to use the right language as they were on national television.
Gachagua said that his only regret was ignoring the advice of the former president Uhuru Kenyatta when he warned that William Ruto would not be a good president for the country.
Why did Trevor Ombija warn Gachagua?
However, his choice of words in the middle of his comments did not sit well with the general audience, prompting Trevor to respectfully intervene and remind him to use appropriate language.
“If I had listened to Uhuru Kenyatta when he told us that William Ruto would not be a good president for this country, this country would not be in the bad situation we are in now. Our mountain people would not be in the difficult situation they are in.”
Gachagua used inappropriate words to describe the state of the country.
“With respect, watch your language, Sir. Watch your language, we are on national TV,” Trevor did not hide his position when he stared at the leader of the DCP party.
Later, Gachagua went on to say that his advice to the ODM party would be to avoid being “swallowed” by another party, as they did under Ruto.
Kenyans saw that Gachagua has been speaking openly about the government’s shortcomings since his removal from power.
People on the internet who were following the show had a lot to say about the exchange that went viral between Gachagua and Trevor.
