Hussein dismisses reports on Ruto, Gachagua Fallout Reports
State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed on Sunday denied the existence of a feud between President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking during a press briefing, the spokesperson maintained that the two leaders were working in harmony and redirected any further questioning to Gachagua’s communications teams.
Mohamed was responding to a journalist who queried the House on the Hill over reports that the Head of State and his deputy were not on the same page.
The journalist had raised concerns over the country’s leadership after Ruto jets out for a State Visit in the United States beginning next week.
The rumours have been fueled by the absence of the DP from key state functions.
Hussein said the office of the Deputy President has all the capabilities and competencies to respond to any questions regarding the second in command.
“There is no issue between the President and his Deputy. If you have a question or want to find anything about the DP, you can get the information from the Office of the Deputy President which has all the capabilities and competencies” he said.
This is not the first time such rumours are circulating. Last year, Government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura termed similiar reports a “creation of the media” stating that the president and deputy were reading from the same script.
