Monday, October 6, 2025 - Former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, has directly accused Mining Cabinet Secretary, Hassan Joho, of being a drug baron with deep ties to international narcotics cartels operating at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
In a fiery interview on KTN News, Gachagua claimed that
Joho's appointment to the Cabinet was a deliberate move to shield and
facilitate drug smuggling disguised as mineral exports.
“I was against Joho's appointment from day one because of
his known links to drug cartels,” Gachagua stated in the interview, urging
President William Ruto to dismiss him immediately if “any decorum remains” in
the Government.
Gachagua's remarks stem from a fresh scandal exposed a few
days ago after a close associate of Joho was captured on CCTV aiding an
international drug trafficker in evading security checks at JKIA.
Joho’s associate was seen escorting the suspect named
Santos, linked to a multi-million-shilling cocaine shipment destined for
London, through restricted areas.
Joho has long denied drug involvement, including rebuttals
to a 2010 U.S. Embassy cable labeling him a narcotics suspect - a claim he
called politically motivated.
