Leaders in Kakamega County have strongly criticized former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for his unpatriotic remarks made in the USA, where he threatened to share sensitive information about the Kenyan government.

• Ikolomani MP Bernard Shinali stated that Gachagua violated his oath of office and tarnished the country's image abroad.
• Kenya-Zambia based Businessman Stanley Livondo urged the diaspora community to ignore Gachagua's "theatrics" and focus on supporting the government.
• Gachagua stated in the USA last week that he would provide evidence of President Ruto's human rights violations to the US government and threatened to reveal details about government officials meeting armed leaders.
