Uhuru Kenyatta Makes Surprising KSh1.5 Million Campaign Funds Revelation About Rigathi Gachagua

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has attracted attention after making remarks about an alleged KSh1.5 million payment to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from his campaign funds.

Uhuru reportedly made the revelation while addressing a gathering, where he suggested that he wanted to personally follow up on the money with Gachagua at his Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri County.

“I hear Riggy G was given KSh1.5 million from my campaign funds. I’ll come to see you about that at Wamunyoro,” Uhuru was quoted as saying.

The statement has sparked curiosity, particularly because of the political history connecting the two leaders and their involvement in Kenya’s previous presidential campaigns.

Uhuru served as Kenya’s fourth president from 2013 to 2022, while Gachagua became Deputy President following the 2022 General Election.

Their political paths have since taken different directions, with Gachagua emerging as a prominent figure in the opposition following his removal from office in October 2024.

The mention of KSh1.5 million has also raised questions about the circumstances under which the alleged money was issued, when the transaction took place and the purpose it was intended to serve.

Uhuru’s promise to visit Wamunyoro adds another interesting dimension to the remarks.

Gachagua’s residence has become an important political meeting point, attracting several leaders seeking consultations and discussions about Kenya’s political direction.

The development comes at a time when political leaders are increasingly engaging in conversations about possible alliances and cooperation ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Uhuru’s remarks have consequently attracted interest among Kenyans, especially given the changing political relationships involving several prominent figures.

However, details surrounding the alleged KSh1.5 million payment have not been independently established, and further clarification from the two leaders would be necessary to establish the full circumstances.

Whether Uhuru will eventually make the promised visit to Wamunyoro remains to be seen.
