- Gachagua said he is satisfied with the share Mt Kenya region got in the Cabinet, adding that they got a fair share.
- This comes a few days after Gachagua said the broad-based Cabinet is a win for all Kenyans, insisting that no one lost.
Deputy President Rigathi has now revealed that President William Ruto granted his wish list in the newly reconstituted Cabinet.
Speaking in Kinangop, Nyandarua County on Sunday, Gachagua said he is satisfied with the share Mt Kenya region got in the Cabinet, adding that they got a fair share.
"Yale yote amefanya sisi tumekubali. Yangu nimetetea na imefanyika. Mimi nimesema niangaliliwe hii na imeangaliliwa," he said.
This is loosely translated to, "We accept everything he (President Ruto) has done. I gave my wish-list and it was granted. I said he should check on some things and he did).
Gachagua said he will keep on defending the Mt Kenya region to ensure they get their fair share.
The DP, however, cautioned his critics not to misconstrue that to meaning he is isolating other regions.
"I am guilty as charged. I have no defence that I love my people, that I care for them, that I think about them. That, I am guilty as charged," he said.
He was however quick to state that he also values the rest of the country.
This comes a few days after Gachagua said the broad-based Cabinet is a win for all Kenyans, insisting that no one lost.
He said there were no losers, adding that the Mt Kenya region remains happy because Secretary to the Cabinet Mercy Wanjau adds to their numbers.
"I have seen many people commenting about gains and losses. Which region got what, which one lost, which one didn't, who is strong, who is not? I think the whole thing is a win for Kenya," Gachagua said.
He spoke on Friday at the funeral of Susan Wanjohi in Nyandarua, Laikipia county.
Wanjohi was the mother of Wanjau.
