Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku greets leaders during a meeting in Mauche, Njoro Constituency, Nakuru County, where he defended Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and urged leaders to promote national unity.

Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has rebuked former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, saying Deputy President Kithure Kindiki is not "a son of a lesser God" and deserves respect.

Speaking in Mauche, Njoro Constituency, Nakuru County, Ruku accused Gachagua of holding the Mt. Kenya region "to ransom" through divisive politics and sustained attacks on the Kenya Kwanza administration.

Ruku dismissed claims that Mt. Kenya had fallen out with President William Ruto, arguing the rift was personal to Gachagua following his impeachment.
