“Keep off my family affairs!” Gachagua tells Ruto amid allegations of doctoring brother’s will

Led by Nderitu's widow, Margaret Nyokabi Nderitu, the family appealed to President Ruto to order an independent probe into the alleged forgery of the deceased's will and unlawful intermeddling in the estate. 

This follows President Ruto’s outburst, in which he accused Gachagua of calling him a thief while allegedly having stolen from his own brother.

Speaking during a tour in Kirinyaga County, Gachagua warned the head of state to avoid interfering in his family affairs and focus on his own.

"Amesahau mambo ya Kenya anaingilia mambo ya familia ya Gachagua. Alijaribu kuingilia mambo ya mlima, nikamkataza. Ameshindwa kugawanya mlima, anafikiria atagawanya familia ya Gachagua? Wewe William Ruto, ukona familia yenu ya Kalenjin, kuenda ongea mambo ya familia yenu, usiingilie mambo ya familia yangu hapa milimani," Gachagua stated. 

He also urged leaders still backing the ruling administration to join the DCP party immediately, cautioning that delaying might be too late. 

Gachagua emphasized that DCP nominations would be free and fair, but those still aligned with Ruto's administration would be left out

"I've heard those still in Ruto's administration plan to join DCP later, after benefiting from the current government, only to come and confuse you. Will you allow them?" Gachagua asked, as residents shouted "one term" in unison. 

He urged residents to vote out leaders supporting Ruto's administration in the next general elections, saying it's time for change.

Gachagua, who is touring Kirinyaga to popularize his DCP party, visited Mwea, Kirinyaga Central, and Gichugu, where he urged residents to reject leaders backing Ruto. 

"When William Ruto visits, hear what he says, take his money, but don't let other leaders accompanying him speak because they are traitors," Gachagua said, warning residents to be cautious of politicians with hidden agendas.
