President William Ruto has vowed to intervene in a Sh2 billion estate succession dispute involving the family of the late Nyeri Governor Nderitu Gachagua and his brother, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Ruto made this pledge after receiving a letter from family members, defying Rigathi Gachagua's accusations that he is using the brother's widow to settle political scores. The dispute has escalated into a direct political confrontation, with Ruto publicly responding to Gachagua's remarks. Former Deputy President Gachagua has accused Ruto of attempting to interfere in his family matters and has blamed the government for leadership failures leading to economic decline.
