Nairobi – Former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua has announced plans to cut short his trip to the United States.

Gachagua has been in the US for several weeks, where he strongly criticised President William Ruto’s administration.

At some point, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen threatened to order the arrest of the former DP after he linked Ruto to Al-Shabaab.

Amid the ongoing controversy, Gachagua has now announced plans to return to the country in less than two months, as he had earlier intended to stay in the US.

In a statement on Thursday, August 14, Gachagua said he was cutting short his trip to join the DCP Party’s campaigns ahead of the upcoming by-elections

David Maraga speaks on claims of calling out Gachagua over remarks about Kenya in US

I am sorry to cut my trip short; my profound apologies to the organisers and Kenyans whom I were to meet; the same has been rescheduled to early next year.

“I have taken a few days to rest before heading home, and as promised, my itenary will be made public. I thank the Kenyans in the States for the love, warmth, and hospitality they accorded to us. I salute the organisers and officials of the DCP chapters for superb planning, organization, and meticulous coordination,” he added.
