Monday, August 24, 2026 - Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has alleged that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is dissatisfied with Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata for contributing only Ksh2 million in his bid to secure a Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) ticket ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In a post on his X account, Kuria alleged that financial
contributions were now the key qualification for Mt. Kenya aspirants seeking
DCP nominations.
He singled out Kang’ata for “falling short” compared to Nyandarua
Governor Moses Kiarie Badilisha, who he claimed had set the benchmark with a
Ksh50 million contribution.
“The only qualification for Mt. Kenya aspirants to get the
DCP candidates is meeting the monetary threshold required. Ask Irungu Kang’ata
who is already in trouble for only giving Ksh2 million unlike the exemplary
Moses Kiarie Badilisha,” Kuria alleged.
Kuria also claimed Gachagua’s upcoming trip to the United
States is partly aimed at handling political matters without interference from loyal allies such as Senator John Methu.
“On Sunday, 9th August 2026, I pre‑warned Jeff Koinange and
the world the real reason and timing of Rigathi Gachagua’s trip to the USA.
“Today, he confirmed that there are things he will do there
away from interference by his gullible cult followers like Kaguchia and Methu,”
Kuria wrote.
He added that shifting the “delivery point” to the US was
meant to weed out unserious aspirants.
“If you can afford to
get a visa and air ticket, then you are a good and serious candidate,” he said,
warning that those without visas or tickets risked being dismissed as “fools or
naive.”
