The political relationship between President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua appears to be deteriorating.

This is shown by a recent meeting at State House in Nairobi. During this meeting, Ruto convened Members of Parliament from Gachagua’s Nyeri constituency without the Deputy President’s presence.

This highlighted a significant political rift. The gathering aimed to discuss development issues in the region. This raised eyebrows given Gachagua’s seniority. He was expected to be involved in such discussions.

In the meeting, Ruto announced the elevation of Othaya Hospital to a parastatal status. This would grant it an independent budget and management board. This decision is part of a broader initiative to enhance healthcare services in the region.

It coincides with the upcoming implementation of Universal Health Coverage. Ruto’s actions during this meeting suggest a strategic move to assert his authority and influence in Gachagua’s political stronghold.

The backdrop of this political tension includes Gachagua’s recent tours in the Mt. Kenya region, where he has been rallying support and positioning himself as a regional leader. This has drawn criticism from Ruto’s allies, who perceive Gachagua’s actions as a try to undermine the President’s influence.

Conversely, Gachagua’s supporters argue that there is a concerted effort to marginalize him within the government. They show a struggle for power and recognition.

The ongoing political fallout between Ruto and Gachagua reflects deeper issues within their administration.

Both leaders navigate their roles and influence in a complex political landscape. The situation remains fluid, with potential implications for governance and political alliances in the future.
