Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during a trek along Mawingu Trail on the slopes of Mt Kenya.
Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua should engage in political transfiguration asap. Going by what has been transpiring between him and the governor of Nairobi, he is proving his critics right. It doesn't mean governor Sakaja is entirely correct, but the DP is becoming the weakest link in President Ruto's Big Six. I say to Riggy G, to whom much is given, much is expected.
One of the arguments Azimio la Umoja advanced when William Ruto chose Gachagua as his DP was that he (Gachagua) was not a presidential material enough. Whether they were right or playing politics, the DP must work out politically to survive the political tides to shed off this tag. No other person among the Ruto Big Six has a similar worry.
