Tuesday, April 8, 2025 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched explosive claims against President William Ruto, accusing him of being the “real commander” of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) through alleged illicit gold trade deals with RSF leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti.
In a televised interview with KTN on Monday night, Gachagua
claimed that Ruto has been facilitating the laundering of gold money through
Kenya to finance the RSF’s armed conflict against the Sudanese army.
“The real commander of RSF is not Hemedti, it is William
Ruto.”
“The money from gold is being cleaned through Kenya to buy
firearms,” Gachagua alleged.
He traced the dealings back to 2023, when Ruto allegedly
pressured him into inviting Hemedti to Kenya.
“Ruto called me to his office and said, diplomatically, a
president can only invite another president.
“But he wanted me to invite Hemedti, his Vice President counterpart,
on his behalf,” Gachagua said.
After the visit, which included meetings with top Kenyan
officials, Gachagua claims he realized the interaction was part of a broader
business arrangement.
He further alleged that when he refused to issue a second
invitation, citing international sanctions on Hemedti and the RSF, Ruto
responded angrily.
“He told me I must invite him and asked, ‘Do you know how
much I will lose by you not inviting him here?’” Gachagua said.
He claims his forged signature was later used to issue the
invite, which he successfully had withdrawn after confronting the president.
“I am available to give evidence. I ask the international
community to sanction William Ruto, and the Sudan crisis will be solved.
“Sanctioning Hemedti is pointless,” Gachagua added.
His remarks come weeks after Kenya hosted RSF-affiliated
groups in Nairobi - prompting Sudan to suspend imports from Kenya over national
security concerns.
