Gachagua Warns of National Crisis Over High-Sulphur Fuel Imports - May 2026

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of permitting the importation of substandard fuel, warning of a potential national crisis due to high sulphur content. This criticism comes as Former President Uhuru Kenyatta announced his intention to remain an active participant in Kenya's political discourse, signalling continued political engagement from former leaders. Meanwhile, Kenya's Labour Day celebrations highlighted a stark contrast between leaders' lavish spending and the everyday struggles of workers facing a high cost of living, with demands for better terms and fair taxes. The 61st Labour Day celebrations in Vihiga County, presided over by President William Ruto, were reportedly overshadowed by political campaigning, with critics pointing to the shame of turning a national holiday into a campaign rally.
