Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that President William Ruto offered him Ksh2 billion to resign from his government position as the second in command.

Speaking on Tuesday morning during an interview with Western radio stations at Karen in Nairobi, Gachagua also alleged that he was impeached because he was vocal on issues affecting Kenyans.

He alleged that each Member of Parliament was reportedly given a Ksh500,000 token while Senators received Ksh10 million each to dismiss him from his government role. "The president told me to quit so that he can give me Ksh2 billion so that I can go on with my business and have security.

He told me to quit so that I could vie in future but I asked myself how can the president plan my future yet he wants me to quit," Gachagua alleged.
