National Assembly Majority Whip Sylvanus Osoro has addressed concerns from Kenyans regarding the whereabouts of DP Rigathi Gachagua.
Osoro explained on Saturday that DP Rigathi Gachagua has been absent from the political scene as he has taken some time off to rest.
“I’ve seen people raise issues with the absence of the DP in the political scene. The DP can also relax. He has been worked up for some time and has now taken a break for a week or so, let him relax,” the South Mugirango MP said.

Osoro added that the DP will be in Nyeri on Sunday and will be available to answer any questions.
“I hear tomorrow he will be in Nyeri, he will speak for himself. For now, it has been very tough on him.”
The Majority Whip also reminded political leaders to avoid using blackmail as a sstrategy to survive in politics. Although he did not target anyone specifically, he stressed the need to move away from personality-driven politics and concentrate on development.
“The most important thing for us in the political space, we must shun blackmail for us to survive. It’s important for us to stop the personality discussion and focus on development,” Osoro added.
His remarks followed concerns from Kenyans about the Deputy President’s absence from several key functions in recent weeks.
Media reports indicated that he has missed at least 11 significant events. Typically, the President and Deputy President attend international meetings and country tours together, and they are often seen hosting international guests as a duo.
