Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of using state resources and youth groups to disrupt his political rallies in Meru County.
Speaking during a church service in Rwarera on Sunday, June 22, Gachagua claimed Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki had turned to financial inducements and threats to frustrate his rising political movement under the newly launched Democracy for the Citizens Party. "Kindiki gave MPs Sh3 million to pay youths to chase us away and be hostile to us in Imenti.
He even paid them to light a bonfire in Tuskys, but instead, the youth began chanting 'one-term,'" said Gachagua.
He alleged that lawmakers from Igembe and Tigania were bribed to arm youths with machetes and arrows to disrupt his events.
