Tuesday, February 25, 2025 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of engaging in business dealings with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a Sudanese rebel group locked in a violent conflict with the country's army.
Gachagua’s claims follow a controversial meeting held by RSF
leaders, led by Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, at the Kenyatta International
Convention Centre (KICC) on Tuesday, February 18th.
During the event, the RSF announced the formation of a
parallel government, drawing sharp criticism from Sudan’s Foreign Ministry.
Sudan accused Kenya of breaching international law, the
United Nations Charter, and the African Union’s Constitutive Act by hosting the
meeting.
Despite the backlash, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia
Mudavadi defended Kenya’s stance, arguing it aligns with the country’s
commitment to peace efforts in Sudan.
In a televised interview, Gachagua made shocking
revelations, claiming President Ruto instructed him to invite Dagalo to Nairobi.
However, after escorting him to the President, Gachagua was dismissed and later ordered to take Dagalo to the airport.
He alleges their discussions centered solely on business,
not diplomatic matters.
“They are smuggling gold from Sudan to JKIA, then
transporting it to Dubai,” Gachagua claimed.
