Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has raised serious concerns regarding the management of state resources under the current Kenya Kwanza government. Speaking at the ACK Diocese of Kajiado Holy Trinity-Kitengela Church on Sunday, Gachagua revealed that the Bomas of Kenya, a national landmark and conference center, had been handed over to a Turkish businessman. He further suggested that this move was part of a wider trend of state assets being allocated to foreign interests.
According to Gachagua, the Turkish national involved in the deal is a close associate of someone with significant influence within the current administration. “The Turkish national is a close friend of someone powerful in this country,” Gachagua claimed. He also raised concerns about the long-term implications of such decisions, suggesting that President William Ruto, who he claims has a two-year window to execute his agenda, is prioritizing foreign partnerships over local interests.
“The other day, you saw who has joined him in government,” Gachagua continued, referencing recent political developments and the individuals who have aligned themselves with the ruling party.
The Bomas of Kenya, traditionally a symbol of national unity and a venue for major government events, has long been seen as a key asset for Kenya. Gachagua’s comments have sparked debate about the transparency of such deals and their potential impact on the country’s sovereignty and economic independence.
The Kenya Kwanza government has yet to respond to the allegations. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Gachagua’s remarks are likely to fuel ongoing discussions about the role of foreign investments and partnerships in the management of Kenya’s national resources.
