Deputy President William Ruto’s running mate Rigathi Gachagua says his bank accounts will be unfrozen if they form the next government.
Gachagua’s three bank accounts at Rafiki Microfinance holding over Sh200 million were frozen by the High Court in 2020 as the government questioned the source of Sh12.5 billion that passed through them between 2013 and 2020.
The first-time MP is said to have used proxies to fraudulently win tenders in various county governments, State agencies, and ministries through 22 companies with him as the sole beneficiary.
Speaking in Mathira, Nyeri County on Tuesday, Gachagua vowed to recover the money if the Kenya Kwanza Alliance clinches the presidency in the August 9th elections.
“You all know the current government has frozen all my bank accounts. When our government gets to power and I become the Deputy President, I know my accounts will be unfrozen, I know my salary will increase,” he told residents.
The MP promised to use the funds to expand his residence in Mathira where men will have a fireside chat as they imbibe their favorite drinks, while women engage 'Mama Gachagua' as they drink porridge and dance.
“I put up a good house and a small house ya wazee ya kuchomea nyama as they take their favourite drinks as we chat - sawa?. Then for women I put up a place where they can be visiting Mama Gachagua to take porridge as they sing and praise. And because women love dancing I will install a kinanda for dancing to,” Gachagua added.
He further urged residents to invite him to all the incomplete churches to make donations if he becomes the deputy president, saying that his contributions will increase from Sh100,000 to Sh1 million and above.
“I thank the church because if it were not for prayers, I would not have been elevated to this position. I promise that when I get there I will increase my donation to churches from Sh100,000 that I have been donating to Sh1 million. I know God will bless me more.”
Gachagua insists that he did not embezzle the funds, claiming that he was being targeted unfairly over his allegiance to Ruto.

This dude must really be very illiterate and stupid. He just told Kenyans why him and Ruto are conjoined corruption twins at the hip. They both cares less about Kenyans. It’s all about them. How crazy can this ndomo Rigathi be in tearing WSR’s candidacy?
Here comes the loose cannon Rigathi. All he care about is himself.
The name Rigathi is not a good name to give a newly born boy. The man has too little brains in his head.
By those statements Gachagua confesses his real intentions for getting into power,to ENRICH HIMSELF. He and Ruto are birds of the same feather, obsessed with amassing wealth at any cost.
An individual has Sh12.5 billion in a bank and yet is not a known industrialist, inventor, or innovator? These are the things Jaramogi Oginga Odinga had warned about which ultimately led to the formation of the Kenya Peoples' Union.
Translation: I will steal the money I'd previously stolen that the government recovered from me.
“I put up a good house and a small house ya wazee ya kuchomea nyama as they take their favourite drinks". "Take?" Would the wazees be drinking their drinks or transporting them somewhere away from the small house?
How stupid are we as Kenyans??? We are getting ready to elect the real conmen to steal more public money. He was unable to show the court how he got all this money. Now he want to get into the real power so he can get his hands on more loot???? We must be real stupid as wananchi to swallow all that bullshit. Their motto ought to be "conmen are us."
This man is a dummy. He cannot even campaign... seems to have zero policy knowledge. In his corrupt head, all 'his people' want is mchele na nyama and chang'aa while he gets to steal more billions.
And Ruto followers dont care😪😪😪😪😪😪
Looks like where he comes from people don't care about jobs or health care services. All they need is nyama choma and they will be happy
This is where we are Kenya. If this kind of men can pass and rise to even hold public office..
And I still wonder why some folks are so gullible to support this duo of Rigathi and Ruto? Really? Generation Z, here we come, we will wipe off hii ujinga takataka ghasia from Kenya political future and jail up all the Rigathis and like minded folks. This man anaaibisha kikuyu’s!! Ushidwe.
The blame falls squarely to EACC for sleeping on the driver's seat on some well-known individuals with Billions of shillings in different accounts without a genuine source.
Mwizi, Mwizi, Mwizi! Give him the mix to tell us more……
For God’s sake Rigathi is really stupid. He just let the cat out of the bag… Stealing from public coffers is his main priority. And what do Kenyans say, except to die the two thieves from ascending to power.
There you have it folks! The UDA development agenda! “ vote forms so I can get my hands on my illegally acquired cash; that I’ll use to build your churches, and build myself and my wife an entertainment palace!”
This just a day after Azimio came out with a clear goal of addressing the high cost of living!
Vote what you see, and hear my friends!
That’s what they’ll do!!
Stupid person he is … Dr. Ruto erred on this pick.
Ruto did not error, he just pick a comrade in crimes.He had a committee to select his running mate. Its not that he just woke up and said, "Hey, its Gachagua..."
Interesting, women will be drinking uji,while men drink their choice of drink...
This gachagua thing is a real idiot...OMG.
It's unbelievable a group of kenyan citizen with brains sat to listen to this thing gachagua,telling them how kina mama watawekewa kinanda wa dance because they love dancing...seriously??
Was he there for a campaign rally for for kujigamba what he got and what he will do with increased salary once he climhgs into power...Kai tukiri ngombe biuuuu andu aitu iiii..he could have talked about the worn out karatina district hospital,and where the term"mathira ya githomo"went to.At least something tangible he will try to do for the larger ciizens..
I am surorised hakuna wanawake wampigia mandulu kwa hiyo mkutano..Poor us...This is the leadership we are just about to put into power..
