Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi noted on Tuesday, April 8, that Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) did not form a parallel government in Nairobi.
While speaking during the Quarterly Diplomatic Briefing, Mudavadi noted that the charter signed by the RSF at KICC was unrelated to forming any parallel government on Kenyan soil.
“On matters of Sudan, there was a conference that took place here in Nairobi. For the avoidance of doubt, no government of Sudan was declared or formed in Nairobi. I want that to be understood very clearly,” the PCS stated.

Mudavadi moreover termed the discourse surrounding the move by the RSF as “misinformation,” noting that the terminology of self-determination as enshrined in the charter should not be misconstrued to mean Kenya is facilitating anything of the opposite nature.
According to Mudavadi, the government’s stand on the war in Sudan was one that supported peace and mediation, and Kenya’s hosting of the RSF was in line with the government’s peace commitment.
Mudavadi’s confirmation comes hours after former DP Rigathi Gachagua claimed that President Ruto is in a commercial relationship with RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
During a recent interview, Gachagua alleged that Ruto entered into a gold deal with Hemedti in 2023, further adding that Ruto was the real commander of the RSF.
The charter which was signed on Saturday, February 22 paved the way for the RSF to govern rebel-held areas, advocating for a secular state and a unified national army.
