Adding “But, these honourable members from the Murang’a County Assembly decided that they were not going to take Ksh300,000, as a bribe, which we know very well is coming from graft. It is money that is supposed to go to capitation and healthcare, but instead it is being dished out as bribes in State House.”

“Today, what is happening in the State House is pure corruption and bribery,” Gachagua declared. “The other day, William Ruto complained that members of Parliament were asking for bribes. But he is a briber-in-chief in this country.”

Gachagua claimed that, based on his estimates, every leader was handed Ksh10,000 in the meetings, amounting to a total of Ksh180 million spent across the three sessions.

He criticised this alleged use of funds, contrasting it with the government’s neglect of key public services. According to him, while huge sums were being channelled into political handouts, vital services remained underfunded.

“When hospitals in Muranga have no drugs, when people are suffering because SHA is not working, when university students are at home, when students from secondary schools are at home, primary schools are not functioning because there is no money for competition,” Gachagua stated.

At the State House, Ruto, accompanied by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, hosted a delegation led by Lands Cabinet Secretary (CS) Alice Wahome. During his address, the President declared that Kenya has no space for tribal or backwards politics that benefit a few at the expense of the majority.

He stressed that the country is pursuing a new path of bold and visionary leadership aimed at improving lives and fostering unity.

Ruto outlined major investments, including Ksh23 billion for 10,300 affordable houses, Ksh3.5 billion to upgrade roads, Ksh2.3 billion for 23 modern markets, and Ksh3 billion for new student hostels.

He also highlighted a Ksh850 million electrification project that will connect more than 10,000 households to power by December.

Additionally, the government has committed over Ksh1.5 billion to build two modern stadiums and allocated Ksh2.4 billion for a water project to supply Kangema, Mathioya, Kiharu, and Kandara with clean water.
