Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of monopolizing Kenya's business sectors, stating that the President has interests in banking, healthcare, construction materials, education, ICT, and transport. Speaking during a meeting with the Kenyan community in Portland City, Oregon, Gachagua criticized the government's economic and governance record, alleging that Ruto has taken over major institutions such as Nairobi Hospital.

He alleged that Ruto's control over these sectors has caused Kenyans to be driven out of business. Gachagua also expressed concern over the rule of law being undermined and security agencies attacking churches, claiming that the President and Interior Cabinet Secretary have allowed the suspension of the rule of law.
