Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed President William Ruto's claims that he frequently picked unnecessary fights, forcing the president to mediate minor disputes.

In an exclusive interview with KTN News, Gachagua instead accused Farouk Kibet, a close aide to the president, of wielding undue influence within the Kenya Kwanza administration. "Farouk Kibet is not a small man...

he is a co-president in this country.

He runs the government, everybody reports to him," Gachagua claimed.
