Former Deputy President Rigathi GachaguaAfter successfully kicking out Rigathi Gachagua as deputy president, President William Ruto’s Mt Kenya allies are planning a major comeback. The President’s allies from the vast Mt Kenya region are reportedly planning regional tours couched as development meetings to salvage their fortunes following Gachagua’s ouster. With hostility growing across the Mt Kenya region, the politicians who are allied to Ruto are now planning aggressive regional tours to shore up their influence. The plan will also culminate with Deputy President Kithure Kindiki’s homecoming later this year which President Ruto will reportedly attend. The Bill triggered massive protests led by Gen Z, forcing President Ruto to withdraw the Bill and rescind tax measures.
