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.
