Leaders from the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) have called on the government to address the key concerns raised in former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's report on President William Ruto's administration performance over the past four years. At a press conference on August 13, 2026, DCP leader John Methu stated that government responses so far have largely focused on Gachagua himself rather than the administration's overall performance.
Methu asked why government officials have not prepared a comprehensive debate for Kenyans about the Ruto government's actions since September 2022, instead of merely discussing Gachagua. The leaders demanded that the government provide evidence to counter the substance of Gachagua's report, particularly regarding the economy, taxation, public debt, employment, education, and healthcare.
They specifically requested figures on whether Kenyan households have improved in terms of disposable income and purchasing power compared to September 2022, the effect of taxation on households and businesses, the amount of national debt inherited by Ruto's administration and any additional borrowing during his tenure, how many jobs have been created, the struggles faced by businesses due to economic pressures, the state of education, particularly challenges universities, schools, students and parents have faced despite government claims of economic progress, and healthcare access, claims and outstanding bills under the Social Health Authority, which replaced the National Health Insurance Fund.
Methu also raised concerns about the ongoing nurses' strike, which began on July 29, 2026, as nurses in all 47 counties have been protesting since then, accusing the government of not adequately addressing their demands. The DCP allies insisted that the government should respond to the issues raised in Gachagua's report with factual data and official figures, rather than focusing on political personalities.
They now want the administration to publish its own four-year scorecard and directly account to Kenyans for its performance since it came to power in 2022.
