The article titled Gachagua Seeks New Party Amid Falling Out with Ruto and Ruto-Gachagua tiff: DP Gachagua in Search of a new political outfit was published in the Daily Nation Newspaper and its Digital platform on May 29, 2024. In a letter signed by Njeri Rugene, Head of the Deputy Presidential Communication Service, the DP's office accused Nation of fabricating matters and falsely associating Gachagua with another political party.

These performance targets are subsequently cascaded to the department, directorate, divisions, sections, units and to individual employees. I think it’s something that needs to be looked into because we need to make bigger steps in the energy sector towards gender mainstreaming.
