Furious RUTO hits out at RIGATHI GACHAGUA and Opposition leaders over weight loss taunt - ‘Endeni Gym, Tumbo Iko Karibu Kupasuka’ (VIDEO)”

Tuesday, March 17, 2026 - President William Ruto has fired back at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua after the latter poked fun at his sudden weight loss.

Speaking in Cheptais, Mt Elgon, on Tuesday, March 17^th, Ruto turned the tables, mocking Gachgua and Opposition leaders with pot bellies, advising them to hit the gym.

“Wengine waende gym, tumbo karibu inapasuka wanalala kwa mkutano mchana hata hewa mnaharibu." (I want to ask these people to go to the gym. Stop eating too much, your stomach will burst. You even fall asleep during meetings and pollute the air,”) Ruto quipped, drawing laughter from the crowd.

The Head of State also took aim at the united opposition, accusing them of focusing on him instead of presenting a clear agenda to Kenyans.

“You people in the opposition, you claim your only agenda is William Ruto, surely? If you want us to go there, you will regret it,” he warned.

His remarks came a day after Gachagua trolled him, claiming Ruto’s weight loss was due to sleepless nights caused by opposition pressure.

“The good thing is that even with all that money, he does not sleep. You can even see how much weight he has lost. He has billions but cannot get rest,” Gachagua ridiculed.
