Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has broken his silence in an emotional and candid interview with media personality Obinna on the popular Obinna TV show. During the tell-all conversation, Gachagua touched on deeply personal topics including his marriage, political career, and the state of his relationship with President William Ruto.
In a surprising revelation, Gachagua disclosed that he still keeps photos of President Ruto in his house. However, contrary to what some may expect, he stated that the pictures are not a sign of ongoing loyalty but a daily reminder of the betrayal he says he experienced at the hands of the Head of State. “I kept the photos to remind myself that betrayal can come from the closest people,” Gachagua stated solemnly.
The former Deputy President, once seen as Ruto’s staunchest ally, hinted at a breakdown in their relationship that led to his political isolation. While he refrained from disclosing specific incidents, his tone and choice of words painted a picture of deep personal disappointment.
Beyond politics, Gachagua also opened up about his marriage, crediting his wife for her steadfast support during turbulent times. He described her as his anchor, particularly when the political storms became too heavy to weather alone.
The interview has sparked conversation online, with many Kenyans reacting to Gachagua’s honesty and reflective tone. As he distances himself from past political alliances, it remains to be seen what path he will take next in Kenya’s political landscape.
