By Michael Ndonye Verified| The Standard (Kenya) Verified Recently, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua decried the influence and power that Farouk Kibet and Dennis Itumbi hold in President William Ruto’s administration.

By Michael Ndonye Verified| The Standard (Kenya) Verified The reception that President Ruto has received in the Mount Kenya region this week has sparked widespread interest. Some Kenyans, driven by ill will, had hoped for hostility, fueled by narratives suggesting that the President had 'punished' the region by allegedly orchestrating Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s removal from office through Parliament. These sentiments were also amplified by the political campaigns that Gachagua has been conducting in the region.
