Gachagua Vows to Name Gov’t Officials Who Looted Billions in Final Days of Uhuru’s Regime

Deputy President Rigathi Gahagua has promised to name the individuals who stole billions of shillings in the last weeks of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.

Gachagua claimed some former Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries stole billions from public coffers and ferried the money to their homes using helicopters from Wilson Airport.

"These people robbed the nation. In the next few days I will be releasing details of billions of shillings looted from public coffers in the last three months of the Uhuru administration and announce the ministers and PSs responsible so that Kenyans can know," Gachagua said during a thanksgiving service at Jesus Winner Ministry in Roysambu, Nairobi, on Sunday.

He added: "At the police airwing in Wilson Airport is where money was being brought in sacks, packed into the planes, and taken to different homes."

The deputy president said most of the money was looted during the presidential election petition challenging President Ruto’s victory in the August 9th, 2022, general election.

"When they saw the election is not in their favor they looted public money with sacks. They knew the case would not amount to anything it was just there to allow them to steal and then go," he said.

"Even the petition they took to Supreme Court was forced on 'mzee wa maandamano' to allow them room to steal money while the court was listening to the case between the time IEBC announced William Ruto as President and the day he was sworn in they looted more than Sh24 billion."

Gachagua vowed to continue telling Kenyans the truth about how taxpayers’ funds were embezzled during Kenyatta’s regime.
