Kenya’s government has instructed former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua to report to police for questioning when he returns from the United States, after he publicly alleged that President William Ruto held clandestine meetings with Al-Shabaab operatives and financed Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said security agencies must record Gachagua’s statement, warning that he could be arrested if he fails to comply. Speaking from the United States, Gachagua dismissed the directive, saying he will cooperate only with the US Senate, which has launched its own inquiry—led by Senator Jim Risch—into Kenya’s alleged ties to Al-Shabaab and the RSF. The DCP leader argued that Kenyan police cannot investigate the matter impartially because they answer to President Ruto. He added that he is “not afraid” of arrest upon his return. Kindiki and Murkomen, along with several Kenya Kwanza allies, also criticised Gachagua for what they described as divisive and anti-Muslim rhetoric, warning that his remarks could damage Kenya’s security image and tourism sector. The dispute deepens tensions between the former deputy president and the current administration as Nairobi faces heightened international scrutiny over terrorism financing allegations.
