"Prepare For War" Riggy Allies Warns Ruto's Team Over Secret Plot To Take Money Meant For Mt Kenya

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and his allies have escalated their criticism of President William Ruto’s administration, accusing it of plotting to politically and financially weaken him through budgetary decisions affecting the Mount Kenya region.

Speaking through his allies, Gachagua alleged that there is an attempt to reduce allocations linked to his office by about 25 percent, a move they claim is aimed at limiting his political influence and ability to engage with citizens nationwide. 

His supporters argue that such cuts would effectively weaken his public outreach and visibility.

The former Deputy President warned that if the alleged plans proceed, they could trigger a major political fallout between his camp and the government. 

He further cautioned the Budget and Appropriations Committee against implementing the proposed changes, suggesting that those involved would be held politically accountable.

In particular, Gachagua’s camp pointed to former Budget and Appropriations Committee chairperson Ndindi Nyoro, accusing him of playing a role in efforts to sideline the former Deputy President. 

His supporters claim they will tour the Mount Kenya region to inform residents of what they describe as a coordinated political strategy against their leader.

Kirinyaga Senator Kamau Murango also weighed in, telling The Standard that there is evidence suggesting a broader effort to weaken Gachagua by reallocating funds away from key agricultural programs in the region. 

He argued that the changes could have long-term political consequences, especially in farming communities that rely heavily on government support.

Murango specifically cited concerns over funding cuts to projects such as the Mwea irrigation scheme, which he said lost significant allocations, as well as the exclusion of coffee sector revitalization programs from budget estimates. 

He claimed these decisions could later be used to politically blame Gachagua for challenges faced by farmers.

According to the senator, the alleged budget adjustments appear strategically designed to undermine the former Deputy President’s influence among residents of the Mount Kenya region by weakening programs associated with agricultural reform.

Supporters of Gachagua have also raised concerns that removing or reducing funding for key economic initiatives could damage his reputation among farmers, who form a critical part of his political base. 

They argue that such moves may deepen mistrust between the region and the national government.
