DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua has accused President Ruto of sponsoring youths in Meru County to ensure he does not address rallies over the weekend.
Speaking during a church service in Rwarera, Meru County, Gachagua claimed that Ruto used his deputy, Kithure Kindiki, to mobilize youths to stop his rallies.
“Kindiki gave MPs Ksh.3 million to pay youths to chase us away and be hostile to us in Imenti. He also paid them to light a bonfire in Tuskys, but instead, the youth began chanting one-term,” Gachagua claimed.

According to the former DP, no matter how much the Head of State tries to disrupt his meetings, he will not succeed because he lost the support of voters in the larger vote-rich Mt Kenya region.
“Ruto is angry because he knows he has lost the Mountain. Don’t blame me, I told you ages ago that the Mountain people do not like betrayal and lies, and that is what you did to them. They cannot support you anymore,” Gachagua noted.
Gachagua was accompanied by his allies like former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi, who has also become a Ruto critic after being fired from his role in a Cabinet dissolution amid youth-led anti-government protests last June.
