Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now says they supported President William Ruto to take development tours everywhere.
In a televised interview on Sunday, Gachagua stated that they had no problem with the President taking development in Western or everywhere he wants.
"We heard one of the leaders saying if Central we don't fully support president we will not get development," the former DP stated.
"We pay taxes, we don't have to worship anyone for us to get development."
Gachagua spoke at his Wamunyoro residence.
This week, President William Ruto toured the Northeastern region, where he oversaw several development initiatives in Garissa County.
Among them was the official reopening of the Garissa Passport Application Centre, which had remained closed for a decade since 2014 following a wave of terror attacks in the region and parts of the country.
The centre becomes the 10th decentralised passport application centre in Kenya, serving Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Tana River, and Kitui counties.
“We have put in place mechanisms that will ensure the people of Garissa and neighbouring counties don’t travel all the way to Nairobi to have their passports processed,” Ruto said.
The President also issued 3,000 title deeds in Garissa Township, doubling the number issued since independence.
Ruto also laid the foundation stone for a 408-unit affordable housing project in the township.
“Millions of Kenyans live in informal settlements and in unacceptable conditions. This is untenable. That is why we are determined to make our Affordable Housing Programme a success in providing decent shelter,” he said.
President Ruto said his government will not engage in discriminative policies to further sideline the region and any part of Kenya.
