- Gachagua alleges there is a cash-filled container at Deputy President’s residence in Karen, used to distribute money to attendees of political meetings.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched a fresh attack on President William Ruto’s government, accusing it of engaging in a massive cash hoarding scheme to influence public opinion ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking from his Wamunyoro residence, Gachagua claimed that Ruto and Kithure Kindiki have devised a plan to borrow money from foreign sources, withdraw it in bulk cash, and store it in containers for distribution.
“I have evidence that there is a container in Karen, at the Deputy President’s residence, full of cash. Kindiki invites Kenyans, tells them government lies, then gives them Ksh. 5,000 each,” Gachagua alleged.
He claimed that due to economic hardships, many Kenyans attend these meetings for the cash handouts, despite not believing the government’s messages.
“Take the Money, But Vote Them Out”
Gachagua acknowledged the difficult economic times Kenyans are facing and advised them to accept the bribes but remain resolute in their decision to remove the current administration in 2027.
“Kenyans should take the money, but when the time comes, we will completely dismantle this government at the ballot box,” he stated.
His remarks come amid increasing political tension between him and President Ruto, following Gachagua’s recent announcement of a new political party aimed at challenging UDA’s dominance in Central Kenya.
With the 2027 elections approaching, Gachagua’s allegations signal a deepening rift within Kenya Kwanza and a potential major political showdown in the coming years.
