Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), has alleged that President William Ruto's government is in the midst of a final "looting spree" prior to the 2027 General Election. In a statement shared on X on August 9, 2026, Gachagua expressed concern over Kenya's "downward spiral" and criticized the administration for failing to address the nation's challenges.
He directly attributed the administration's failures to President Ruto, stating that the government was being led by the head of state. Gachagua's DCP remains committed to removing the current administration and promoting a different governance approach, emphasizing the importance of constitutionalism, the rule of law, and practical development.
However, the DCP leader did not provide evidence to back up his accusation of government wrongdoing, stating that it was merely his political assessment. President Ruto has defended his administration's performance and claimed that the government is progressing with its development agenda. As political parties and leaders gear up for the 2027 election, Gachagua's remarks represent one of the prominent critiques of the Ruto administration.
