Secret Tapes in Kisumu Hotel That Triggered Ruto-Gachagua Fallout Exposed

According to reports, Former DP Gachagua had spent the day together with his boss President William Ruto on a tour of Nyanza region.

It was the first time the two Kenya Kwanza leaders were receiving a warm reception at the lakeside city since the disputed 2022 General Election.

After a whole day of activities, Mr Gachagua checked in to his hotel where he was later joined by an MP from the Rift Valley region.

This MP was considered an ally of Gachagua, having defended the DP when debate on his looming impeachment was discussed in the region in July.

This MP would spend hours with Gachagua at his presidential suite in the hotel. However, it turned out that someone else was listening in on the conversation.

This has now turned out to be the night of betrayal of Gachagua by men and women whom he trusted.

What Gachagua did not know is that some people away from this room were getting minute- by-minute, blow-by-blow updates on the deliberations in the presidential suite.

This recorded conversation is now at the centre of the fallout between the DP and his boss.

On Sunday, Mr Gachagua who spoke on his discharge from Karen Hospital said National Intelligence Service agents had accessed his room in Kisumu on August 30.

He believes that this was an assassination attempt. “Undercover police accessed my room on August 30 but we detected it. Again on September 3 while in Nyeri, there was an attempt to poison me, Gachagua said.
