Kenyan Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has departed for a month-long trip to the United States amid calls from some Kenyan citizens and commentators for the revocation of his passport. Critics accuse Gachagua of inciting violence in Kenya and fostering unrest, particularly targeting the Kikuyu community and opposing key government figures such as National Intelligence Service Director Noordin Haji and Principal Secretary Dr. Raymond Omollo. Some have urged the Kenyan immigration authorities to prevent his travel, citing concerns that he could organize a coup or disrupt President William Ruto's administration. Despite these calls, Gachagua successfully left Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) for the US trip.

If I had powers, Rigathi Gachagua should have not been allowed to leave JKIA. This man is poisonous. He has managed to sell lies to Kikuyus. In the US, it is all about soliciting for money to disturb William Ruto's administration. https://t.co/eycUh2Pjs6
No US trip for this militia. Rigathi Gachagua is responsible for the chaos in Kenya. His hatred for the NIS boss Noordin Haji and PS Dr Raymond Omollo must be condemned. He believes they are the reason William Ruto is in office today after several attempted coups. https://t.co/NC4vwBQtDB
