22 Multi-Million Companies Allegedly Linked to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua
An impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has brought to light the existence of 22 multi-million companies allegedly linked to him and his family.
The motion accuses Gachagua of using these companies to launder money and conceal the proceeds of corruption, contributing to an inexplicable rise in his wealth.
According to the allegations, Gachagua has amassed property valued at Ksh 5.2 billion over the past two years.
The motion claims that this wealth, primarily in the form of land and real estate, is inconsistent with his known legitimate income, raising concerns over the source of his fortune.
It further accuses him and his sons of establishing the companies to facilitate the movement of money obtained through illegal means.
The 22 companies listed in the motion include:
- Spirit Way Limited
- Fortis Vis Group Limited
- Grand Bypass Apartments Limited
- Kuruwitu Properties Limited
- The Anansi Collective
- Biovet Limited
- Calvary Creed International Limited
- Cosmere Venture Limited
- Crystal Kenya Limited
- Delta Merchants Limited
- Vipingo Beach Resort Limited
- Rigathi Gachagua Foundation
- Dorcas Rigathi Foundation
- Heartland Supplies Limited
- Karandi Farm Limited
- Morani Manufacturers Limited
- Mothers of the Land Limited
- Pioneer Medical Limited
- Ridor Furniture Mart Limited
- Royal Crimson Ventures Limited
- Technical Supplies and Services Limited
- Wamunyoro Investments Limited
The motion claims that Gachagua’s property portfolio is vast and includes investments in sectors such as real estate, hospitality, manufacturing, and medical supplies.
His financial dealings and rapid wealth accumulation have sparked debates about corruption within the country’s political elite.
As the impeachment process unfolds, it remains to be seen whether these allegations will lead to legal action or if they will remain part of the ongoing political discourse surrounding Kenya’s leadership.
Gachagua, however, has previously denied any wrongdoing, calling the claims politically motivated and baseless.
