Ngunyi pointed to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as the central figure behind the growing political tensions surrounding the Kenya Kwanza government.
In a strongly worded statement, Ngunyi alleged that former President Uhuru Kenyatta together with Russian interests were allegedly influencing political events behind the scenes through Gachagua.
He described the former deputy president as a “ticking time bomb” within President Ruto’s camp, suggesting that the Head of State should pay close attention to the internal divisions emerging in the ruling coalition.
“Dear Ruto: Your PROBLEM is Riggy G. Uhuru and the Russians are just his MASTERS,” Ngunyi stated, remarks that have since sparked debate across Kenya’s political landscape.
The comments came shortly after Gachagua, who is currently in Mombasa, criticised the National Intelligence Service over its handling of recent protests witnessed in different parts of the country.
Gachagua accused the intelligence agency, led by Director General Noordin Haji, of failing to provide advance information about the planned demonstrations and the controversial scenes that later emerged during the protests.
The former deputy president further called for Haji’s resignation, arguing that the country needed more competent leadership at the intelligence agency.
His remarks have drawn mixed reactions from Kenyans, with some interpreting them as a sign of widening cracks within the ruling United Democratic Alliance party.
Political observers now believe the differing public statements from Ruto’s allies reveal deeper disagreements and inconsistent messaging within the government, raising questions about the future unity of the administration.
