DP Rigathi Gachagua has explained why he has chosen to live in his private residence in the same neighborhood rather than the lavish official residence of the Deputy President in Karen.
The DP’s official residence, which is estimated to have cost taxpayers Ksh. 400 million, is in a dilapidated state as a result of neglect on the part of the former administration of President Uhuru Kenyatta following the fallout with then-Deputy President William Ruto, according to Gachagua, speaking in an interview with Mt. Kenya vernacular radio stations on Friday.
The toilets are also broken down, according to Gachagua, who also claimed that President Ruto’s family had to relocate to a different part of the house during heavy rains when he was the DP.
DP Gachagua said that President Ruto was being punished since no maintenance and repairs had been made to the borehole pump, which had also malfunctioned.
“Even if I wanted to move to that house, I have no money to fix it, but I’m happy where I’m at now,” he continued.

He asserted that President Ruto was forced to pay for all expenses, including electricity, because the administration at the time, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta, neglected to distribute funding to administer the house.
