Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed claims of disagreements in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Saturday during a graduation ceremony at Outspan Medical College in Nyeri, Gachagua said the coalition was doing good.<\/p>\n

“Governor, I heard you say something about a marriage yesterday, I want to correct you. This marriage is fine,” he said.<\/p>\n

He was commenting on a statement made by Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga that insincerity has started to manifest itself in the coalition, as witnessed during EALA elections.<\/p>\n

Kahiga said the Mt Kenya region leaders in President William Ruto’s camp will not be undermined by their counterparts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to say that we will walk this journey together if possible. But we want to make it clear we have not been married by anyone who thinks that they can solely decide to take us here or there,\u201d he said on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very early in this marriage but we want to say that the signs are very telling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gachagua said the “marriage” between Ruto, the coalition members and the rest of Kenyans was as a result of long courtship.<\/p>\n

“On August 9, we had a grant wedding and God blessed it. Governor, that wedding is a permanent wedding until death us apart. I can tell you the partners in this wedding are loving each other,” he added.<\/p>\n

Likening the coalition to a literal marriage, he said the relationship had been consummated and the first child was on the way.<\/p>\n

The DP said the children will be taken care of to repay the parents in kindness in future years.<\/p>\n

He also warned the media not to create non-existent problems.<\/p>\n

“I read the newspapers today saying there are cracks in Ruto’s government. What cracks?” he asked.<\/p>\n

Gachagua said there was a “small” scuffle in the coalition on the election of EALA representatives, which he had nothing to do with himself or his boss.<\/p>\n

He said Ruto was democrat and did not interfere with the decisions of the legislators.<\/p>\n

The DP said the press was still in what he termed as ‘the former administrative dictatorial era’, reiterating that Ruto was a democrat who allowed internal democracy.<\/p>\n

“Therefore when you see a few of our MPs arguing over this and that, that does not mean there is any problem. All of us are united behind Ruto and so far were happy with what he is doing,” he said.<\/p>\n
