Gachagua Accused of Al-Shabaab Allegations against Ruto, Refuses Statement - August 2025

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been strongly criticized by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Cabinet Secretary Murkomen for making allegations that President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration have ties to terrorist organizations. Kindiki labeled Gachagua's claims as "reckless," sparking sharp reactions from government-allied leaders who are demanding accountability. Gachagua has reportedly dared the Kenya Kwanza government to arrest him and has refused to record a police statement regarding his remarks, claiming harassment and threats from CS Murkomen.
