Sunday, June 15, 2025 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has claimed that President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto have been experiencing frequent domestic wrangles, which he says have affected her attendance at key public functions.
Speaking during a church service on Sunday, Gachagua
insinuated that Mama Rachel's absence from certain
high-profile events, including Raila Odinga’s AU Commission Chairperson
bid launch, was not due to other obligations or scheduling issues, but
rather private disagreements between her and the President.
Gachagua disclosed that he had personally noticed Rachel’s
absence during Raila’s AU bid launch and became concerned.
Upon inquiring, he claimed that President Ruto candidly told
him there had been a “minor misunderstanding at home”, implying the First
Lady stayed away due to a domestic dispute.
In a further revelation, Gachagua claimed that during his
tenure as Deputy President, President Ruto instructed him to
only attend key state functions with his wife, Dorcas, if Mama
Rachel was also present.
“The President felt uneasy that I always attended functions
with my wife Dorcas, especially when Mama Rachel was absent. He told me it made
him look like he was not a family-oriented man,” Gachagua stated.
