Former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi now says he regrets not signing a structured agreement with President William Ruto ahead of the 2022 general elections.

Speaking over the weekend in the Igembe North area in Meru County, Linturi mentioned that he and embattled former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua did not sign an agreement with the president when the other Kenya Kwanza leaders signed an agreement using political parties.

Linturi said he and Gachagua decided to trust President Ruto without a formal agreement, which he now regrets.

“When we went with William Ruto, we worked so hard and got the government. The only thing I regret is that when everybody else was negotiating using a political party and signing agreements, Gachagua and I said no, let us proceed; we trust you. We said ‘tuende hakuna shida’,” Linturi stated.

According to Linturi the failure to sign the agreement had made him and Rigathi Gachagua an easy target for being removed from the government.

Linturi further cautioned politicians to avoid rushing into working partnerships solely on trust and ‘truth’ which he noted should be taken with a pinch of salt.

“I can tell you for free and without any fear that when you are making negotiations, you should come out stronger and better and you cannot be easily targeted. I will tell you, today I really regret,” the former CS added.

Linturi is among the 11 former Cabinet Secretaries who lost their jobs after President William disbanded and reconstituted his Cabinet in July. Dr. Andrew Mwihia Karanja replaced him.

At the same time, Linturi hinted that he would be running for Meru governorship in the 2027 elections, saying he had always been a politician and was now unemployed.
