Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has threatened to expose the identities of those who allegedly stole money from public office during former President Uhuru Kenyatta's regime's final three months.
The deputy head of state claims that several former ministers and Principal Secretaries (PSs) were delivering the money in sacks to their homes via planes from Wilson Airport. During a thanksgiving service at Jesus Winner Ministry in Roysambu on Sunday, deputy gachagua stated that he would be revealing the identities of the individuals behind the alleged theft of billions in the coming days.
"These people robbed the nation. In the next few days I will be releasing details of billions of shillings looted from public coffers in the last three months of the Uhuru administration and announce the ministers and PSs responsible so that Kenyans can know," said DP Gachagua.
"At the police airwing in Wilson Airport is where money was being brought in sacks, packed into the planes, and taken to different homes."
DP Gachagua went on to accuse "those fellows who kept shouting that they cannot hand over to thieves" of a deliberate plan to file the presidential results petition with the Supreme Court to create time for more stealing.
"When they saw the election is not in their favor they looted public money with sacks. They knew the case would not amount to anything it was just there to allow them to steal and then go," stated the Deputy President.
"Even the petition they took to Supreme Court was forced on 'mzee wa maandamano' to allow them room to steal money while the court was listening to the case between the time IEBC announced William Ruto as President and the day he was sworn in they looted more than Ksh.24 billion."
