DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua has recently claimed that some individuals close to President William Ruto are plotting to prevent him from traveling to the United States.
The leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) claimed that his associates had received phone calls earlier in the day warning him against leaving the country.
Gachagua moreover assured that he would proceed with the trip as planned.

He is expected to begin a two-month tour across the United States to engage Kenyans in the diaspora.
“Tonight, I will be travelling to the United States of America to talk to Kenyans in the diaspora about the state of the nation,” he explained. “I would have wanted to stay in the country at this very difficult time, when our people are under siege. But I have engagements that I am not able to postpone.”
Gachagua went on to dare those behind the threats to act, saying he would not be intimidated from seeking help for the country.
According to Gachagua, the U.S. trip aims to reconnect with Kenyans who left the country years ago and encourage them to reinvest back home.
He further promised that in his absence, he had organized a few opposition leaders to bring together lawyers who would assist those accused of various crimes stemming from the youth-led protests.
