Despite his removal, the former DP continued to expose rogue doings with of his former leadership, calling our President William Ruto for being a vicious man, and failing to keep his promise of protecting his deputy.
However, responding to continues tantrum thrown by Gachagua, Prime Cabinet Musalia Mudavadi slammed him, of failing to accept reality and stop seeking sympathy among Kenyans, and causing unnecessary dram in the country.
He further laughed at the former DP, claiming that he cannot even vie for the post of a village elder, adding that he is just waiting time to delve in politics.
