Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua asserted that UK King Charles III played a role in resolving the dispute over Tata Chemicals Magadi land. During a church service, Gachagua recounted how he raised concerns about President William Ruto's plan to seize the land while in the United States. The monarch, he claimed, intervened after hearing his protests and asked the Kenyan government why it wanted to take over the property.
Subsequently, King Charles allegedly contacted Ruto and urged him to abandon the plan. Gachagua argued that his public protests led the monarch to warn Ruto against proceeding with the takeover. The former Deputy President also defended the company's long-standing support for the Maasai community, citing the hospital, banking services, and other facilities provided in the area.
