Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was notably absent once more as President William Ruto departed for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session in New York.
This marks yet another occasion where Gachagua has missed accompanying or seeing off the President on key international trips.
President Ruto was seen off by Chief of Defence Forces Charles Kahariri and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, signaling the absence of the Deputy President at a high-profile moment.
In a brief statement, Gachagua claimed he had not been informed of the President’s departure schedule.
This development comes amid growing speculation about a potential rift within the country’s top leadership, as Gachagua’s recurring absences from significant events fuel rumors about internal tensions.
