President Ruto's Administration Faces Accusations Amid Political Maneuvering - August 2025

DCP Leader Rigathi Gachagua has accused the state of orchestrating chaos during his homecoming on Thursday, August 21, 2025, after a trip to America. Gachagua claimed President William Ruto and Interior Cabinet Secretary Murkomen deployed goons, resulting in robbery and violence against his supporters. In a separate political move, President Ruto has reportedly revived a 1995 strategy, originally used by former President Daniel Moi, to regain popularity in the Mt Kenya region. This strategy involves deploying professionals to address disquiet and restore political influence. Meanwhile, over the last three years, the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has dropped cases against allies of President Ruto. This action has proceeded despite the President's public commitment to fighting graft.
