Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy President- elect Rigathi Gachagua has told President Uhuru Kenyatta that his deputy William Rutio will succeed him in due course whether he wishes or not.<\/p>\n

While addressing church service at Christ the King Cathedral in Bungoma town on Sunday, Gachagua said Ruto’s journey to State House is a done deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cUhuru thought that if he isolates Ruto he would have made it, I want to tell him that now Ruto is the next President and nobody is going to block his swearing in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuto won fairly and the Kenya Kwanza is waiting to plan who to serve in different capacities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gachagua at the same time chided Interior PS Karanja Kibicho accusing him of plotting to block the DP from being president.<\/p>\n

He said every attempt to stand in the way of Ruto’s bid to be president will be an exercise in futility.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuto\u2019s statehouse bid is unstoppable. I want to tell PS Kibicho that he has just wasted his time plotting for things that will never happen in Kenya,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPS Kibicho stop wasting time, pack your belongings and plan how you will reach home.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time accused Kibicho of planning to block Bungoma Senator elect Moses Wetangula from being the Speaker of the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

He said he has delayed the gazettement of Senators-elect to block Wetangula from seeking election as speaker.<\/p>\n

He said that the gazettement of the Senators will still go on even as he assured Wetangula of his post.<\/p>\n
