Ruto has planted 'moles' to divide opposition, Gachagua claims

Speaking during an engagement with clergy in Boston, Massachusetts, Gachagua claimed that attempts were being made to disrupt efforts to build a united opposition front.

"Huyu Kasongo ameplant moles, kutugawanya, kutusumbua, kutuconfuse our people. But in DCP we have developed an equipment called Kasongometer. We are detecting this fellow five kilometres ahead. Akionekana inaanza kuwaka red," Gachagua said.

The former Deputy President said the opposition would continue working towards fielding a single candidate to challenge Ruto in the 2027 election.

"So we are able to detect those fellows way ahead. Tunamwambia hapana hapana. But it is a continuous process. When we expose one, anatuma mwingine, tukingojea anatokea huku chini," he said.

Gachagua also dismissed claims of plans to bring foreign voters into Kenya, saying only registered Kenyan voters would participate in the election.

"Watu watajiunga kumi kumi wanaulizana, 'Do we know each other?' and they move on to vote. Ugandans will not vote in Kenya. There are no foreigners who will vote in Kenya," he noted. 

The DCP leader also maintained his position on regulating alcohol consumption, saying he was prepared to face political consequences over his campaign against excessive drinking.

"A fellow called me saying, 'Wewe, most of your supporters are not happy. Hii mambo ya masaa wachana nayo. Wewe deal with the killer brews, ile pombe mbaya, lakini hii ya masaa wachana nayo.' Kama hiyo ndiyo itafanya kura ipotee wacha ikae. How do you feel as a president when people are drinking at 7:00 am?" Gachagua said.

Gachagua is currently in Boston as part of an extended United States tour that has included engagements with Kenyans in the diaspora. His Boston visit is scheduled to run from October 1 to October 9.
