“Many people have supplied goods and services to both the national and county governments, but their payments have been delayed for months, even years.
Some have lost their homes, vehicles, and livelihoods because of unpaid government debts,” Gachagua said. “When I take over, all pending bills will be cleared immediately so that businesspeople can recover and our economy can start breathing again.”
The former Deputy President further noted that economic revival will form the foundation of his leadership agenda. He promised to create a government that is transparent, accountable, and focused on empowering ordinary citizens rather than burdening them with excessive taxes.
Gachagua’s remarks come amid growing economic frustration among Kenyans who continue to lament the high cost of living and delayed government payments.
His message has resonated with many small business owners and traders who feel neglected by the current administration.
As the 2027 political race gains momentum, Gachagua appears determined to position himself as the candidate of economic recovery and financial justice for all Kenyans.
