“I said during my inauguration about the country we inherited , some people thought I was being mischievous. we inherited a ramshackle country, the coffers were empty, the stores were empty, not even rats were there because there was nothing to eat,” said Gachagua

“We have started building this country from scratch. all the good work that President Mwai Kibaki did in 10 years was ruined. All the work he did of building a strong economy , of having thriving businesses, of allowing people to trade freely, of making sure there is money circulating in the economy, all of it was destroyed especially during the handshake era.’

He also said domestic borrowing from banks at high interest rates also contributed to the downfall of the economy adding that his government Kenya Kwanza will put a stop to this.

Gachagua noted that there was hope and that the President would fix the economy.
