Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now claims that President William Ruto offered him Sh2 billion to step down.  Speaking during an interview on vernacular radio stations on Tuesday, February 4, Gachagua claimed that the President suggested his resignation would pave the way for him to contest a political seat in the future. "The President asked me to step down, promising Sh2 billion for a comfortable retirement with proper security and a good salary.

He also suggested that I could run for office later.

However, I questioned his intentions since he was asking me to resign," he stated.

Additionally, he alleged that Members of Parliament were offered Sh500,000 each, while some senators received Sh10 million to support his impeachment.
