Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of failing Kenyans and abandoning his campaign promises.
Gachagua who was speaking at the DCP headquarters accused the president of eroding democratic gains of multipartyism and swallowed opposition parties.
“Four years later, Mr. William Ruto has betrayed the trust bestowed on him by the people of Kenya, betrayed the fruits and foundation of our Nation that have been built by previous administrations under the various development blue prints such as Vision 2030,” he said.
Gachagua was addressing the press on the score card of the Kenya Kwanza administration for the four years it has been in leadership.
According to the opposition figure Ruto had promised to uphold the rule of law, build a secure, just and democratic Kenyan founded on the constitution but he had abandoned all of it.
He added that there were promises of professionalising the National Police Service, safeguard human rights, protect Kenyans and strengthen administration of justice while ensuring security agencies are accountable to the constitution.
