Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has articulated his problem with President William Ruto’s men, claiming that an initiative dubbed “Project 22” has been launched to incite leaders against him and paint him as a bad leader.
In an all-out attack, Gachagua asserted that a small clique of Cabinet Secretaries, bloggers, President William Ruto’s Personal Assistant and friends of the President have been undermining him and trying to order him around.
“The problem you are currently witnessing is that some people who are friends of the president also want to be my boss. Is it possible?” Gachagua posed while speaking in Kirinyaga County on Saturday.
He, for yet another time singled out current leaders within the Kenya Kwanza administration who he claimed have embarked on an incitement mission.
"Now they are trying to incite other leaders against me through a group called Project 22 by convincing them that I am a bad person.
“Even some of his friends, his PAs want to order me around on how to do my work. Is it possible? Even bloggers of the president want to tell me what to do... you know me, I have only two bosses, President Ruto and the people of Kenya,” Gachagua slammed.

He also shared that this is not the first time that the said persons were having issues with him.
According to the DP, the individuals were opposed to his selection as Ruto’s running mate
