Gachagua Accuses President Ruto of Failing to Fulfill 2022 Election Promises - August 2026

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has delivered a scathing critique of President William Ruto's administration, asserting that the Kenya Kwanza government has failed to deliver on its 2022 campaign promises over the past four years. A fact-check of Gachagua's claims, made during an address concerning President Ruto's tenure, reveals several inaccuracies in statements about NSSF remittances, fuel price increases, procurement tenders, national debt, and the release of an investigation report. Separately, Gachagua claimed that two officers linked to the Mutiso murder case are hiding in Uganda. Allies of President Ruto have fiercely rebutted Gachagua's recent claims regarding corruption and security within the Kenya Kwanza administration.
