Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has offered to testify before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations regarding Kenya’s status as a major non-NATO ally. This comes as the Committee proposes a review of Kenya’s designation.

• Kenya became the only Sub-Saharan African nation with MNNA status on June 24, 2024.
• The US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations is chaired by Senator James Risch.
• Gachagua stated he would assist investigations into alleged police brutality under President William Ruto’s administration, despite demands from Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen for him to provide evidence.
