Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has intensified political rhetoric against the government, accusing it of failing to deliver on key pledges made during the 2022 General Election, while rallying Kenyans to push for change in the next electoral cycle.
In a statement on his X account on April 25, 2026, Gachagua claimed that promises on universal healthcare, affordable education, lower taxes, and improved governance had not been fulfilled.
Gachagua questioned the status of major commitments, including access to healthcare, free primary and secondary education, job creation for youth, and adherence to constitutional principles.
“The promises they made in 2022 were built on quicksand and lies of a lifetime conmanship. The 55 million Kenyans are now up and ready to sing a liberation song on 10th August 2027!” Gachagua said.
He further alleged misuse of public funds meant for critical sectors such as health and education.
Calling for accountability
The statement also raised concerns about the welfare of young people, accusing the administration of undermining their future through unemployment and limited opportunities.
The opposition figure urged citizens to remain vigilant and “reclaim dignity” through democratic means, pointing to August 10, 2027 the next General Election date as a moment for political change.
“Where is the Universal Healthcare Promised? Where is free primary and secondary school education? Where is the lower tax regime promised? Where is the robust diplomacy promised? Where is the constitutionalism? Where is the freedom of worship?” Gachagua stated.
“Where are the jobs for our young people? They have stolen our resources, they are now stealing the future of our young people!”
The rally at Tononoka Grounds appeared to signal the early start of campaign messaging, with leaders using public forums to consolidate support and critique the government’s record.
