Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua today delivered another explosive political speech, reigniting tensions in Kenya’s already heated political landscape.

Speaking during a public address, Gachagua strongly criticized President William Ruto’s administration over governance, economic struggles, and what he described as misplaced priorities amid the ongoing Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi.

In one of the most talked-about moments, Gachagua questioned the government’s spending and alleged that foreign interests were benefiting while ordinary Kenyans continued struggling with the high cost of living. He also linked French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to controversial discussions surrounding the cancelled Rironi-Mau Summit Road project.

The former DP accused the government of focusing too much on international image and diplomacy while citizens continue facing economic hardship, unemployment, and rising fuel prices. His remarks immediately sparked reactions online, with supporters praising his boldness while critics accused him of fueling political divisions.

Gachagua, now leading the DCP political movement after his dramatic fallout with President Ruto, appeared confident and defiant as crowds cheered during the speech. Political observers say his recent public appearances are part of a wider strategy to consolidate support ahead of the 2027 elections.

The speech comes at a time when Kenya’s political temperatures continue rising, with opposition figures intensifying criticism against the Kenya Kwanza administration over the economy and governance issues.

Social media quickly exploded with clips of the fiery address, with many Kenyans debating whether Gachagua is positioning himself as the country’s main opposition voice ahead of 2027.
