President William Ruto’s allies in Mt Kenya have accused Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of isolating central Kenya.

The Kenya Kwanza leaders, led by Laikipia East MP Mwangi Kiunjuri claimed that Gachagua is plotting to isolate Mt Kenya communities from the rest of the country ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Speaking in Eldoret, Kiunjuri alleged that there was a scheme by the DP and a section of politicians to cause a rift in the Kenya Kwanza government to weaken the President's political influence in the region.
