You Demanded Sh10B From Ruto And He Refused Then Started The Onslaught, Moses Kuria Reveals Rigathi’s Secrets In Explosive Letter

Senior Advisor in the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) Moses Kuria on Wednesday reshared a letter that he had written to besieged Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua back in June highlighting 10-key issues that he needed answered before he could join his ‘Murima’ bandwagon.

Key among the issues raised by the vocal politician is a claim that Rigathi had demanded Sh10 billion from President Ruto to sanitize the ‘ground’.

“When the cost of living was high and there was discontent on the ground, you went to the President and demanded he gives you cash Ksh 10 Billion to go fix the ground in Mt Kenya. When it was denied you now throw tantrums. How would the cash have benefitted the people of Mt Kenya?” Kuria revealed.

Kuria also revealed that Gachagua stopped taking tea from Statehouse for fear that he would be poisoned.

“Now you have refused to even have a cup of tea in State House saying you fear you will be poisoned. Make me understand how you now expect us to feel safe coming to your Karen Residence for Cabinet Committee meetings. Won’t you also poison us now that you have a good idea of how poisoning works?” He said.

Questions and allegations

Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana this week filed a censure motion against the DP and one of the issues he raised was Rigathi’s allegiance and obsession with Mount Kenya politics that made him ignore other regions and seen as a tribal king. In the letter by Kuria, he poses several questions to the DP pertaining the same issue.

Here’s part of the letter.

1. As we headed towards the General Elections of 2022 | pleaded with you about the need to join the Kenya Kwanza Alliance through a Mt Kenya Party like Chama Cha Kazi. You told me off and even mobilised everybody to decam-paign against me, Kabogo & Kiunjuri and our party candidates. Only Kiunjuri survived your evil scheme. Now after UDA formed government you want our people to leave UDA and government and join your party. This is pure Ukora and selfishness. You want to lock the Gichegu when the mbuzi has already left.
2. President Ruto appointed me CS against your wishes. You said we can’t have another mlevi like Uhuru. Uhuru whom you are professing love for
3. You pressed President Ruto repeatedly to have me fired. When you failed you succeed in having me transferred from the Ministry of Investments, Trade & Industry because you thought my efforts in poverty reduction, Jobs creation and wealth creation were too dangerous for your plans
4. Since September 2022 to date you have been receiving the Mt Kenya share of appointments.

   Even the ones for Ministries under the CSs from Mt Kenya. We only come to know that we have

   ‘appointed’ someone from the Kenya Gazette.

   Now you have exhausted the appointments and you want us to andamana with you for you are being oppressed

5. Whereas all the rest of us are busy in our dock-ets, you do zero work in terms of the priorities of the President and the government. The President works 24 by 7 alone yet you are so idle that you spend entire day politicking or filling out tender forms.bi wonder how you can run a government yet you know absolutely nothing of how government operates.
6. You have never stepped out of Nyeri save for few forays into Mt Kenya East. How can you lead us? Are you not the safest route towards 41 against 1 isolation of our community? Is this the legacy you want to bequeath our Gen Z majority?
7. You have lost the trust and friendship of 90% of elected and appointed leaders in Mt Kenya region. How can you lead them?

Kuria in his attack on the DP concluded by questioning the end game of Rigathi as he fights to isolate the Mt Kenya from others in his wisdom.

“Finally, where are you taking our people? Assume you even get 100% of Mt Kenya, what next? What’s the end game? Will you vie for President in 2027? Which other voting block other than Mt Kenya will you team up with ? Who will trust you ? Are you not being reckless and irresponsible with the political destiny of our people? Other than cheating them to change from Hustler to Villager what other vision do you have for them? Are we going to feed our people on slogans like Hustle and Villager for ever just like Tibim and Tialala? What about the roads, water, schools, water, jobs, businesses that we promised them? When you cry to them about you being treated unfairly do you want them to eat you for dinner tonight?” Kuria posed.

Rigathi impeachment motion ready

The impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua could be tabled in Parliament anytime now, with reports suggesting it is ready and had attained necessary support from Members of Parliament.

Sources said signatures were coming in “fast and furious”, saying more than 116 lawmakers have signed. While some have threatened on social media that the plan could be set rolling in two weeks, insiders told The Standard that President William Ruto’s allies want the motion tabled before the President returns from his US trip.

The President is expected back on Saturday, meaning the impeachment motion could be tabled by today if the timelines promised are to be followed, given MPs do not sit on Friday.

Sources say the motion could be tabled today, having been endorsed by more than a third of the lawmakers from across the political divide. Others, on condition of anonymity, said it would be tabled next week, as the subject was too sensitive to be rushed and that they did not want to afford Gachagua any loopholes.

Yesterday, an MP from Mt Kenya claimed Leader of Minority at the National Assembly Junet Mohammed received instructions from ODM leader Raila Odinga to rally ODM Mps to support the impeachment motion after it is tabled. The instructions came via phone from New York where Raila is accompanying President Ruto.
