Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has stirred fresh political debate after alleging that President William Ruto once confided in him about his ambition to become wealthier than Kenya’s most powerful and historically wealthy families.
Speaking during an interview while on his political tour in the United Kingdom, Gachagua claimed that the Head of State expressed a long-term personal goal of surpassing the combined wealth of the Kenyatta and Moi families—two dynasties widely associated with Kenya’s political and economic history.
According to Gachagua, the remarks were made during a period when he and Ruto were still politically aligned and maintaining what he described as a “good working relationship.”
