Rigathi Gachagua, the former Deputy President of Kenya, responded to President William Ruto's comments about an "opposition plan" by unveiling his own opposition plan to restore Kenya. Gachagua addressed Kenyans in Dallas, Texas, on September 27, 2026, and outlined a series of proposals aimed at addressing issues such as public wealth recovery, taxation, corruption, healthcare, jobs, foreign relations, and the independence of state institutions.
He emphasized that the opposition's plan would require a change of government before implementation and urged Kenyans to vote for a new administration in the 2027 General Election.
Key points of the opposition plan include the recovery of public wealth lost under the current administration, the return of illegally sold public assets, changes to taxes and levies, and the restoration of healthcare programs such as Linda Mama and Edu Afya. Gachagua also proposed the creation of jobs through manufacturing, agro-processing, and value addition, as well as rebuilding Kenya's relations with neighboring countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, and Sudan.
Additionally, the opposition would seek to restore the independence of oversight institutions and restore multi-party democracy.
