Kenyans Burst Into Laughter After Gachagua Reveals the Project Ruto Has Gone to Launch in Kisii

Rigathi Gachagua has left Kenyans laughing after delivering a sharp political jab at President William Ruto, claiming that the Head of State has a different priority whenever he thinks about Kisii.

The former Deputy President made the remark while taking a swipe at Ruto, suggesting that the President has no development projects to launch in Kisii because his main political focus is now on him.

“Ruto has no projects to launch in Kisii. His main project now is Rigathi Gachagua,” Gachagua declared.

The statement immediately caught attention, with the audience bursting into laughter. His choice of words turned what appeared to be a political attack into a humorous moment that many people could not ignore.

Gachagua’s remarks also carried a deeper political message. His reference to himself as Ruto’s main project appeared to suggest that the political rivalry between the two leaders has become a major talking point ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The former DP has increasingly positioned himself as one of Ruto’s strongest political critics, regularly questioning the government’s performance and challenging its leadership.

The Kisii remark therefore offered another glimpse into the growing political tension between the two former allies, whose relationship dramatically deteriorated after their fallout in government.

Many people were left talking about the statement, while the incident sparked reactions online. Supporters appeared divided, with some finding Gachagua’s remarks hilarious and others viewing them as another attempt to keep political pressure on the President.

What happened next surprised many as laughter became the biggest reaction to a statement carrying a serious political message.

As the 2027 political battle continues to take shape, such exchanges could become even more frequent.

Do you think Gachagua’s remarks were justified, or was he simply mocking President Ruto for political attention?
