In a recent heated political exchange, President William Ruto and his former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua accused each other of extortion and dishonesty. While addressing supporters in Nyangori, Nyamira County, Ruto described Gachagua as a "chief extortionist" for demanding money from businesspeople and political candidates.
In response, Gachagua called Ruto "Mr. Six Months" and accused him of lying to Kenyans regarding political engagements in the Gusii region. Gachagua also claimed that Ruto had failed to deliver development projects to the region during his four-year tenure as President. He further accused Ruto of repeatedly launching projects without completing them, citing a hospital he claimed had been launched multiple times.
