TWO NOTORIOUS DRUG BARONS IN RUTO'S CABINET- GACHAGUA

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dropped a political bombshell, alleging that two sitting members of President William Ruto’s Cabinet are involved in international drug trafficking.

In a recent interview aired on July 27, Gachagua claimed the unnamed officials are barred from traveling to the United States due to their alleged roles in narcotics operations.

“We have two drug barons in the Cabinet. They’re so tainted they can’t even step foot in the U.S.,” Gachagua said, stopping short of naming the individuals.

The statement has unleashed a wave of reactions across the country, triggering heated exchanges on social media and in political circles. While some Kenyans are applauding Gachagua for daring to speak out, others have accused him of making unverified accusations driven by political rivalry.

Meanwhile, civil society organisations and anti-corruption advocates are calling for immediate crackdown . Groups such as Transparency International Kenya and Africog are demanding that investigative agencies like the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) probe the allegations without delay.

Despite mounting pressure, State House and the Cabinet have yet to issue any official comment. The silence from top government officials has only fuelled speculation, with many Kenyans urging transparency and accountability.

Should the allegations prove true, the fallout could be severe — not only for the individuals involved but for President Ruto’s administration, which has repeatedly pledged to uphold integrity and the rule of law.
