The Deputy President Gachagua Apologizes for Remarks to the president and kenyans.

On Sunday, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua issued an apology to the President, Members of Parliament, and Kenyans who he may have wronged, either knowingly or unknowingly. Gachagua emphasized that his previous comments were not meant to be tribal but were expressions of gratitude toward voters in the Mt. Kenya and Rift Valley regions, who significantly contributed to President Ruto's election victory, despite resistance from the state apparatus.

Gachagua, who has been linked to phrases like "shareholders" and "don't touch the mountain," has faced criticism from Kenyans across various tribes and regions. Many have accused him of fostering tribalism—a claim he has consistently denied, stating that advocating for central Kenya's interests does not imply hostility toward other communities.
