Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sounded a warning to President William Ruto ahead of his planned tour to Central Kenya.
Speaking during a brief engagement with members of the public in Kiambu, the former DP took a swipe at his former boss, accusing him of launching projects that did not belong to the Kenya Kwanza government.
According to Gachagua, a majority of the projects which Ruto is set to launch were allegedly pioneered by his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta.

“I want to tell the President. You are coming to Mount Kenya to tell us which projects you are working on.But we must say the truth: the projects that are in Central Kenya are those that were initiated by former President Uhuru Kenyatta, and you have refused to complete them.”
Gachagua’s sentiments came just two days after he cautioned Mount Kenya people to be wary of the President’s alleged tactics of using money to entice the voting bloc.
Gachagua claimed on Saturday that the President would leave no stone unturned in his attempts to woo the vote-rich region.
This will be the first time Ruto is comprehensively touring the Mount Kenya region since August 2024, when Gachagua was still his Deputy.
During his trip, the president is expected to visit nine counties in the region, including Laikipia, Nyeri, Meru, Kirinyaga, Nyandarua, Murang’a, Embu, Tharaka-Nithi, and Kiambu.
