NAIROBI, Kenya Nov 9 – President William Ruto has launched a blistering attack on his former deputy Rigathi Gachagua, branding him a “chief extortionist” and declaring that he does not deserve political office.
Ruto accused Gachagua of using his position as Deputy President to extort money from businesspeople, politicians and aspiring candidates, claiming the alleged conduct continued even after his impeachment.
Speaking on Monday during the second day of his Kisii and Nyamira tour at Riamoni-Nyangori Road and Last Mile Connectivity in Kitutu Masaba, Nyamira County, the President questioned Gachagua’s suitability to lead the country.
