In a shocking revelation that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of engaging in mega corruption at unprecedented levels. The focal point of this scandal? The iconic Bomas of Kenya.

During a Sunday service mass in Kajiado, Gachagua boldly stated that Bomas of Kenya has been sold to a Turkish billionaire with close ties to President Ruto. He further revealed that this deal was presented to the cabinet before his impeachment, and he stood alone in opposing the sale of this national heritage.

“Today as we speak, Bomas of Kenya imeuziwa Mturuki…Bomas of Kenya Imeenda. Ililetwa pale cabinet nikapinga mimi peke yangu. (Bomas of Kenya has been sold to a Turkish national. It is gone,I am the only one in the cabinet who opposed its sale). Watu wengine wote ni waoga wakiona rais wanatetemeka. Mimi nilisimama cabinet nikasema Bomas of Kenya is a national heritage and we cannot sell it. Imeuziwa mturuki ambaye ni business partner ya mtu mkubwa katika serikali hii mnamjua.”
