Sunday, June 22, 2025 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sensationally claimed that President William Ruto and DP Kithure Kindiki sponsored youths in Meru County to disrupt his political rallies over the weekend.
Speaking during a church service in Rwarera, Meru County,
Gachagua alleged that Kindiki disbursed Ksh 3 million to local MPs to mobilise
youth to heckle and attack him and his Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP)
allies.
“Kindiki gave MPs Ksh.3 million to
pay youths to chase us away and be hostile to us in Imenti.”
“He also paid them to light a
bonfire in Tuskys, but instead, the youth began chanting ‘one-term’,” Gachagua
claimed, referencing the growing slogan suggesting Ruto won’t secure a second
term in 2027.
He further accused the Tigania East MP of arming youth with
machetes and arrows, but said the plan failed.
“Everywhere we go, they welcome us with songs. The President
has lost the Mountain,” Gachagua declared.
Gachagua, who was impeached in October 2024 after falling
out with Ruto, accused the President of also intimidating Meru clergy to block
him from church events.
“Some AICPA bishops were summoned to State House and
threatened not to host me.
“Ruto wants to control the church—it’s dictatorship,” he
said.
