The Deputy President stressed the importance of humility and servant leadership among those in positions of authority. He urged leaders to focus on delivering results for the people and to prioritize the nation’s interests over their personal ambitions.

The public has also responded to Gachagua’s statement with mixed reactions. Some have welcomed his call for accountability, while others have expressed skepticism about the government’s willingness to address arrogance among its ranks. It remains to be seen whether the President and the government will heed Gachagua’s advice and take measures to address the issue of arrogance.

Speaking at a Sunday service in Kiamariga, Gachagua urged government officials to support President William Ruto’s initiatives rather than undermining them. He criticized unnamed leaders for belittling Kenyans, sparking anger toward the entire administration. “Do not weaken the President by antagonizing Kenyans,” he said. “If you do not want Kenyans to destroy you, do not destroy them.” Gachagua accused some of these leaders of becoming arrogant and insensitive to the plight of Kenyans. “Now that Indians are hungry, they are hungry. Now that we are healthy,” he said in reference to their perceived dismissiveness. He stressed the importance of leaders being united in supporting the President’s agenda. “The government can only be successful if leaders are united,” he said. He added that elected officials should prioritize the needs of those who voted for them. Gachagua’s criticism echoes previous warnings he has issued about arrogance among Kenya Kwanza leaders. He has urged them to show humility and respect towards Kenyans, who he considers their employers. President Ruto has also acknowledged the issue of arrogance within the government, calling it a sign of inexperience and promising to address it. “I have a duty to mentor them,” he said. “They will make mistakes, they will exhibit some arrogance, but sometimes I want to take responsibility.” Gachagua’s and Ruto’s statements underscore the importance of leaders being accountable to the people they serve and working together to improve the lives of all Kenyans.Arrogance of Leaders Blamed for President’s Challenges Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has attributed the President’s current struggles to the arrogance of certain leaders.

Gachagua cited instances where leaders have acted independently without consulting the President, creating a disconnect between the executive and its branches. He also lamented the tendency of these leaders to engage in public spats, undermining the President’s authority. “This arrogance has led to a fragmented government, with leaders pursuing personal agendas rather than supporting the President’s vision,” Gachagua said. The Deputy President urged the leaders to prioritize the nation’s interests and work collaboratively with the President. He emphasized the importance of humility and respect for the chain of command. “It is our duty to support the President and ensure that his agenda is implemented for the benefit of all Kenyans,” Gachagua stated. Gachagua’s remarks come amidst growing concerns over the President’s leadership style and the challenges faced by his administration. The Deputy President’s criticism highlights the need for unity and collective effort within the government to address the country’s pressing issues.
