Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will commence a two-day tour of the Rift Valley region amidst rumors of a strained relationship with President William Ruto.
According to a tentative schedule, Gachagua will address a public gathering at Silverline in Eldoret this afternoon.
On Saturday, he will be the chief guest at an empowerment program at Seiyo Secondary School in Kipchamo ward, Kesses. This event will feature various elected leaders and cabinet secretaries, with succession politics and revenue-sharing formulas expected to dominate discussions.
Gachagua has been a strong advocate for the one-man, one-shilling principle.
Ahead of the empowerment event, Gachagua will attend the ordination ceremony of the newly appointed Eldoret Catholic Diocese auxiliary bishop John Lelei at the Mother of Apostles Seminary grounds.
On Sunday, the Deputy President will preside over an interdenominational church service at Matharu Primary School in Kesses and later address residents, reaffirming his support for President Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza agenda.
The visit coincides with President Ruto’s return to the country after his state visit to the US.
