Ruto Only Trusts Farouk Kibet and Dennis Itumbi
In a stunning turn of events that has captivated Kenya’s political scene, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has made some serious accusations against President William Ruto, claiming he’s ignoring his official government advisors.
Gachagua argues that the president is only taking advice from two people: Dennis Itumbi and Farouk Kibet. His bold remarks, shared in a recent interview, have sparked a whirlwind of controversy and speculation about the true power dynamics at play within Kenya’s State House.
These aren’t just casual claims —they’re serious allegations of shadow leadership. Gachagua asserts that Farouk and Itumbi are the real power players in Ruto’s administration. While advisors are supposed to help shape national policy, Gachagua insists they’re being sidelined and treated like mere salaried spectators.
As he put it, “They are just there to earn salaries — Ruto doesn’t listen to them.” The interview has sent shockwaves throughout the nation, prompting many to question the legitimacy and transparency of the current administration’s decision-making process.
Is President Ruto truly in charge, or are unelected aides calling the shots? Timing is crucial in politics. Gachagua’s choice to go public has raised eyebrows across the political landscape.
For months, whispers of tension between the former deputy president and his boss have circulated, but nothing had been confirmed — until now. With Kenya facing economic challenges, growing political unrest, and accusations of authoritarianism, Gachagua’s revelations couldn’t have come at a more critical moment.
Analysts suggest this move was strategic. By voicing his concerns, Gachagua not only distanced himself from the current regime but also positioned himself as a whistleblower — someone who has witnessed the inner workings and refused to stay quiet.
For many, this wasn’t just an interview; it was a bold declaration of defiance. A man who was once at the heart of the administration is now pointing fingers at a regime he helped create.
