A former deputy president just accused the president of sheltering drug lords in his cabinet. Rigathi Gachagua launched a fiery critique, demanding that William Ruto start his anti-drug crackdown by firing two allegedly corrupt ministers. He challenged the president to prove his sincerity by purging his own government first.
Gachagua escalated matters by bizarrely calling for US intervention, referencing Venezuela's political capture. He tied this to unresolved corruption scandals involving state contracts that hurt local farmers. The DCP leader also slammed the administration's governance, citing delayed school funds and biased student placements favoring certain regions over others.
He dismissed recent opinion polls showing Ruto ahead as completely fabricated, labeling the polling firms as fake. Mocking the president's frequent comparisons to Singapore, Gachagua told him to focus on fixing his own bottom-up economic model first. He also warned Ruto to stop attacking former President Uhuru Kenyatta and to show respect, while daring him to a direct confrontation instead of using proxies.
