  "summary": "Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika of betraying the interests of her constituents and aligning herself with President William Ruto’s administration. In a public rally on August 14, 2026, Gachagua alleged that Kihika and her husband had taken control of key county businesses and improperly acquired the War Memorial Hospital. He also accused the governor of excluding local traders from county business opportunities, stating that all businesses in Nakuru are controlled by Kihika's family members. Gachagua, using the event to rally support for his Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), called on residents to back a new governor from his party in the 2027 General Election.",
