Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua criticized Raila Odinga, accusing him of seeking power without responsibility and misleading supporters. Speaking to Kenyans in Southern California, USA, Gachagua claimed Raila is unhappy with the emerging "cousin" narrative.

• Gachagua asserted that Raila has repeatedly exploited the "cousin" communities, including Mulembe, Kamba, Kisii, Mijikenda, and Taita nation, with false promises.
• He accused Raila Odinga of negotiating deals for himself upon losing elections, leaving his supporters "in the cold."
• Gachagua claimed the Ruto administration's new health system, Social Health Authority, cost Sh104 billion and replaced the more effective NHIF, with accusations of stolen funds.
