Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed claims that he is careless with sensitive information, saying he will not be silenced.
Speaking to journalists and supporters, Gachagua addressed accusations that he has been “spilling secrets” about government dealings and political strategies since leaving office. He described himself as transparent and unafraid to speak his mind.
Gachagua insisted that hiding information and engaging in secret deals does not serve the public.
He argued that openness is essential in a democratic society and that citizens deserve to know what goes on behind closed doors.
He made it clear that he will continue to speak out, regardless of criticism or political pressure.
His comments come as he seeks to maintain a visible role in Kenya’s political scene following the end of his tenure as deputy president.
Over the past months, he has remained vocal, challenging government policies and raising issues he believes are important for the nation.
His supporters see his candour as a sign of integrity, appreciating his willingness to break away from the carefully controlled messaging common in politics.
Critics, however, caution that speaking too freely could create tension or spread unverified claims, warning that transparency must be balanced with responsibility.
Gachagua, nevertheless, appears determined to continue his outspoken approach, presenting himself as a politician committed to accountability and public scrutiny.
As Kenya approaches future elections, his stance signals that he intends to remain a strong and influential voice in national politics.
Whether celebrated or criticized, Gachagua’s refusal to be quiet underscores his belief that openness and honesty should define leadership.
