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.

Rigathi:

Mambo haya yote yalipotendeka ndugu yako Samoei alikuwa wapi? Samoei alikuwa makamu wa rais kwa muda wa miaka 10. Yaonekana ya kwamba hakufanya kazi yoyote ila kukusanya mshahara wake wa kila mwezi na kupata marupurupu kutoka kwenye pesa za umma.

I pity the people who voted for these village boys. Ruto knows he lacks an economic rescue plan and if propaganda won't hoodwink Kenyans, juvenile lies will. They intend to use Matiangi,Tuju, Murathe, and maybe Jesus of Tongaren as an escape goat.

Ruto knows he does not have an economic roadmap for the country and since he knows the average Kenyan who votes is marginally educated and unsophisticated and likely to believe lies, he lies more and more to distract from the main issues. Tomorrow we will hear Matiang'i stole $5555 Billions and even Jesus of Tongaren stole $2444 Billions.

FIRING SQUAD from TOP(Ngina,Moi,Kibaki,Odinga families,past/present MPs,senators,governors)is the only solution to Kenya’s corruption.All elite gangsters led by Wanjigi,Pattine,Kamani,all druglords led by ailing Punjan must be pumped with bullets.

Naming is not enough. First of all they will deny,and accuse you of playing politics.So I hope that you have solid evidence to book them in prison.
Why don't you give then amnesty and see who bites? Lately we have seen high profile cases withdrawn,or outrightly dismissed,for nebulous reasons.So should these crooks Gachagua is talking about get their names soiled,Iam afraid their cases shall be withdrawn as well.This is a mockery of justice.DPP should be forced to resign if nothing comes out of this mess.

Ditto. Do you need our permission to name names? Ok, you now have my permission. Name them tomorrow. Also treat them the same way chicken thieves are treated. Lock them up at Industrial Area and don't let them see a lawyer the first 10 months. Otherwise just shut up and stop blowing hot air for nothing.

Just name them and include your name and that of your boss.You were elected to fix the economy by elevating the hustlers aka maize roasters and bodabodas however you are stealing whatever is left and using the hustler fund to imprison them even more while naming your fellow corrupt buddies to top positions and even creating more to ensure you and your boss are protected should shit hit the fan and it will soon you talk like your party will be there forever a joker ,village chief no business being deputy president supposed second in command

My dear Kenyans, the truth is that the days of good morals are over. Steal and scum till the day you are caught. Who knows, chances are you are likely to be excused and released as is the new norm. See DPP for more details courtesy of Ruto & admin. Meanwhile, we have to make do with those we voted for, with a hope for no future. How long will take for us to understand that the presidency is meaningless, and do the best we can to survive, unless you can milk something out of it for YOURSELF. Apathy is the new norm. Let the politicians here themselves in the radio and TV, but pay them no mind. The Kenya that we were all so proud of and nostalgic about is dead. The sooner we accept this, the earliest we can move on with life.

Naming them wouldn't fix the problem, freezing & auctioning their properties
or prosecuting and hanging them will be more prefer move!!....

Thank you Riggy G and Ruto. Uhuru never had the interest to saving the common man's woes caused by the late dictator Moi and his own dad, Jomo. They treated Kenyans like squatters in their "empires". My prayer is that all that was taken from Kenyans be returned in earnest, and the criminals and their families be held accountable to the fullest.
