The former deputy president said Kenyans have the right to speak on issues affecting the economy and the country. Gachagua asked Kenya Kwanza government leaders to pay attention to the views expressed by Kenyans and align accordingly instead of lashing out at the very Kenyans.
“Makasiriko ni ya nini? Let’s be tolerant of divergent views from Kenyans. I want to ask our leaders to be tolerant of divergent opinions. If Kenyans say things are not okay, stop lecturing them. They are the ones who employed you,” Gachagua said.
