    Gachagua accuses DP Kindiki of using Ksh 60m from Ruto to fund Saba Saba Day violence

    BOSTON, United States — Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has leveled serious accusations against Deputy President (DP) Kithure Kindiki, alleging that Kindiki orchestrated the chaos witnessed during last month’s anti-government protests.

    Speaking from Boston, United States, Gachagua claimed that Kindiki received Ksh 60 million from President William Ruto. This sum, Gachagua alleged, was intended to bankroll a disruptive campaign specifically designed to discredit him and his political allies within the influential Mt. Kenya region.

    “They paid goons to cause mayhem and frame us for it so that the public would turn against us. But Kenyans are not blind; they can see through the deception,” Gachagua asserted.

    He further accused Kindiki, whom he provocatively nicknamed ‘Soprano’, of misusing State funds under the guise of empowerment initiatives to launch early campaigns for the 2027 general elections.

    The former Deputy President argued that such substantial public funds should instead be directed towards more critical and urgent sectors like health and education.

    “The money he’s flying around with in helicopters could fix hospitals and schools. Instead, it’s being thrown around in the name of empowerment. But young people are paying attention,” he said.

    Gachagua also used the platform to outline his ambitious vision for the initial 100 days of his presidency, should he be elected. His promises included bringing an end to extrajudicial killings, restoring the independence of key institutions, and significantly revamping essential public services.

    “My first priority would be to end abductions and stop extrajudicial killings and restore the rule of law. The second thing would be to allow institutions such as Parliament to have autonomy to enable it to make effective decisions,” he stated.

    He further extended his criticism to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, accusing him of openly siding with the Executive.

    “A Speaker should be neutral, but what we have now is someone who campaigns for the president, attends harambees, and issues political threats. That’s not the role of a neutral parliamentary head,” Gachagua remarked.

    According to data from the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), the “Saba Saba” protests tragically resulted in at least 38 fatalities and over 130 injuries. The demonstrations also left a significant trail of destruction, with numerous businesses looted and millions of shillings in losses incurred.
