Shock as Gachagua Exposes What Ruto and Gideon Moi Secretly Agreed On During Their Meeting

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has once again stirred political tension after revealing what he claims was discussed between President William Ruto and KANU leader Gideon Moi during their recent meeting.

Speaking at a rally in Embu County on Saturday, Gachagua accused President Ruto of double standards and political hypocrisy, alleging that the Head of State was secretly plotting to strengthen his support base while branding other leaders as tribalists.

 “You saw yesterday, Ruto met Gideon Moi, who is from his native Kalenjin community, and he told the Kalenjins to unite. But when I try to mobilise my people to unite, I am labelled a tribalist,” Gachagua declared.

“If Kalenjins meet, it is called unity. When Mt Kenya people come together, it is labelled tribalism. He thinks we are fools,” he added.

The former Deputy President said Ruto’s Friday meeting with Moi at Kabarak was not just a courtesy call, but part of a calculated political realignment to consolidate the Kalenjin bloc ahead of 2027.

Gachagua further accused Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and other Mt. Kenya leaders allied to Ruto of working behind the scenes to divide the region for political gain.

“Anybody being used by the President to divide us is an enemy of the Mt. Kenya people,” Gachagua said. 

“Ruto is busy uniting Kalenjins so he can get back to power, and I am telling my people to stay united," he added.

The remarks came a day after Moi’s KANU Party officially agreed to collaborate with Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, a move that has since sparked speculation about a looming political shake-up.

During the Kabarak meeting, Ruto said the partnership was meant to promote national unity, stating:

“I want to ask you, the good people of the founding party, to accept that we work together. Let us have a formal arrangement so that KANU becomes part of the government of Kenya.”

Gachagua’s latest outburst now adds a new twist to Kenya’s growing political tension, with analysts saying the Mt. Kenya succession battle could once again take centre stage.
