The DP stated that Ruto had placed Kenya at an advantageous point on the world map through the deals he negotiated in the US.
"Kenyans were very proud of the way you represented us in that great country. Your speech; that English was absolutely perfect. Kenyans were very happy you put Kenya on the world map and the gains that you negotiated for the country," he stated.
Meanwhile, Gachagua's office has strongly denounced reports that he is eyeing a new political outfit outside the ruling UDA party.
On Wednesday, May 29, a local daily carried a story about Gachagua's resolve to forge his political path outside UDA, where divisions have continued to rock.
According to Daily Nation, Gachagua had been in talks with The New Democrats (TND) for a political partnership with his supposed likelihood of quitting UDA due to frustrations.
Addressing the claims of his seeking to coalesce outside UDA, Gachagua's office said they were far-fetched.
Njeri Rugene, the ODP's head of communication, flagged the reports as unfounded, calling out the media house for spinning malice -as news publication- to the detriment of the deputy president and his office.
