Rigathi Gachagua, the former deputy president, has made shocking allegations that a Turkish individual has purchased the Bomas of Kenya, a national cultural site.
Gachagua claimed that the Cabinet had already approved the sale in spite of the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority’s (KCAA) protests while speaking at the ACK Holy Trinity Church in Kitengela, Kajiado County.
Additionally, Gachagua, who continues to play an opposition role, asserted that prison properties had been added to the transaction. “A Turkish national has purchased Bomas of Kenya as of right now.
But he claimed that the government went ahead and completed the deal. “The President sold it despite the opposition of the civil aviation community. “We’re alone,” Gachagua bemoaned.
The former Deputy President further asserted that correctional facilities had to be relocated due to the sale of jail sites nationwide. “Every prison property has been sold. Every prison must be moved. He declared, “Even churches constructed on these lands, including SDA and Catholic churches, will be destroyed.”
The Bomas of Kenya was founded in 1971 with the goal of preserving, showcasing, and advancing the rich and varied cultures of Kenya’s numerous ethnic groups. It has functioned as a major cultural hub and tourism destination.
Concerns regarding the possible destruction of this national heritage have been aroused by Gachagua’s accusations.
Days after President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga formally announced their political unity on Friday, Gachagua made these comments. With a 10-point agenda, the agreement seeks to promote collaboration between the ODM party and the ruling UDA party.
The National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report, which recommends the establishment of the Office of the Official Opposition Leader and the restoration of the Prime Minister’s post, is one of the recommendations.
Gachagua brushed off Ruto and Odinga’s handshake as a diversion. “Don’t worry about the current situation. It is a diversion. They are referred to as theatrics and are used to distract us.
