Tuesday, May 19, 2026 - Former Deputy President
and DCP party leader, Rigathi Gachagua, has criticized President William Ruto
over his overseas travel, accusing him of using an extremely expensive Private
Jet at a time when Kenyans are struggling with rising fuel prices and harsh
economic conditions.
Speaking from the United Kingdom, Gachagua questioned the
President’s decision to leave the country despite reports that authorities had
warned of growing public anger and possible unrest linked to the cost of
living.
“When the country is burning, despite having been properly
briefed that there is a problem and Kenya will come to a standstill, he left on
an overseas trip in a private jet,” Gachagua said.
According to Gachagua, the President is spending about Ksh 5
million per hour on the luxury aircraft, which he described as the epitome of
extravagance.
He further claimed that the jet is fitted with high-end
luxury amenities, including a bedroom, spa and jacuzzi, and alleged that there
are four ladies from Seychelles on board tasked with providing massage services
during the flight.
