Why Gachagua changed his tune about bipartisan talks
After the committee comprising Azimio la Umoja members and government officials was established, Gachagua dismissed the discussions, claiming they would not yield any positive results.
Months later, the second in command changed his tune and announced his full support of the committee’s outcome.
Speaking on Kameme TV at his Karen home on Sunday, March 24, Gachagua said he had doubts but is now convinced that the report is good.
“I am happy with the NADCO report and support it fully. My initial doubts are gone. It is a good report that Parliament should fully embrace. It’s true, the NADCO report was brought, and we looked through it; it’s good. Before, I was in doubt because there’s a Kikuyu saying that he who a snake has ever bitted, runs away even when he sees a rope,” Gachagua said.
At the same time, Gachagua noted that he has not seen any signs of a handshake between President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
