Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua changed his story about money left in government accounts when the Kenya Kwanza team started running the country. On Friday, he told media personality Oga Obinna that the previous administration had left some cash for basic operations. This differs from what he said before about finding empty accounts. Gachagua admitted the financial situation was tight but said enough funds existed to keep the government working. He stated there was not of money but enough to start moving forward.

During his September 2022 inauguration speech, Gachagua claimed the opposite. He told everyone at that time that the Treasury had no money at all. He even said they found not even a rat in the accounts. He blamed former President Uhuru Kenyatta for leaving behind a struggling economy. The reason for his new position remains unclear but may be related to his recent political activities.

Gachagua recently created the Democracy for Citizens Party. He hopes this party will help unite voters in the Mt. Kenya area, which voted heavily for Kenya Kwanza in 2022 against Uhuru Kenyatta's wishes. Gachagua appears to be building support in this important voting bloc, and his new statements might help his political goals in the region.
