Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) and former deputy president, claims he facilitated a meeting between President William Ruto and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), leader of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This disclosure comes amid a proposed U.S. amendment bill reviewing Kenya's non-NATO ally status.

• Gachagua stated the meeting, requested by Ruto, occurred when Hemedti was deputy president of Sudan.
• The meeting involved discussions primarily about "business and trade and gold" according to Gachagua.
• Gachagua urged President Ruto to address alleged links to Al-Shabaab, dismissing claims by Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen.
