Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has come to the defence of Uhuru Kenyatta, following a spate of criticism aimed at the former Head of State by Kenya Kwanza Allies.

Gachagua, while speaking during a Thanksgiving Service at his Wamunyoro home in Nyeri County on Sunday, pointed an accusing finger at his former boss, President William Ruto, whom he accused of sending proxies to attack Uhuru.

The former DP was referring to the latest remarks made by Ruto's aide Farouk Kibet, who recently cautioned Uhuru against meddling in the country's political affairs. "You have sent your errand boys like Farouk and Ichung'wah to go insult our young man, the Fourth President - they must stop," Gachagua warned.  Rigathi Gachagua at his Wamunyoro residents on Sunday, May 4, 2025.
