Kenya's 🇰🇪 Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, now impeached, says he never imagined "Ruto could be that vicious, especially after I helped him become president" while warning that "if anything happens to me or my family, Ruto should be held accountable."

"It's unfortunate that while I was in the hospital, my brother and friend, William Ruto, ordered the withdrawal of my security detail.

I no longer have any officers assigned to protect me. I never imagined Ruto could be that vicious, especially after I helped him become president. As of today, the Deputy President of Kenya has no security. If anything happens to me or my family, Ruto should be held accountable.

Ruto, my brother, I helped you to be president. Leave me alone. Leave my children alone. Do whatever you want but let me live. Let me look after my children."

[The Standard is Private Kenyan Media]

Kenya remains determined to secure a deal with China for the completion of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) to Malaba, the government has maintained.

Kenya’s announcement comes days after high-level discussions between President William Ruto and China President Xi Jinping in Beijing failed to bear such a deal or an extension agreement.

Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, however, says Kenya will maintain its ongoing engagement with Beijing to secure support for the expansion of the SGR, starting from Naivasha [...] with the ultimate goal of reaching Kampala.

He spoke soon after returning from the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) forum held in Beijing recently.

“I thank the Chinese government for always working with us to implement our infrastructural projects, and look forward to closer partnerships on roads, rail, ports and airports through public-private partnerships and government-to-government agreements,” Murkomen said.

“I also appreciate the willingness of the Chinese government to work with us to find the most appropriate framework for extending the SGR from Naivasha to Malaba, and thereafter to Kampala and beyond.”[...]

The Mombasa port serves Uganda, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan and Burundi as well as northern Tanzania. Prior to President Ruto’s visit, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Murkomen earlier said Kenya would seek the extension of the SGR to Malaba, on the Uganda border.

The visit would also have seen President Ruto negotiate a $1 billion (Sh157 billion) mega deal and seek concessions from Beijing to restructure Kenya’s debt owed to China.[...]

“It is important to note that BRI investments in Kenya include an expanded and improved road network, the standard-gauge railway (SGR), and air and sea port projects. These projects have transformed connectivity within our country by making greater productivity and efficiency possible,” said Ruto during the BRI forum.

“They have also transformed Kenya’s connectivity regionally, facilitating cross-border trade and regional integration.”

Ruto’s maiden visit to Beijing was keenly watched by diplomatic observers. The visit marked Dr Ruto’s U-turn on his earlier rhetoric against Chinese loans.

During the Beijing forum, Xi lauded his grand BRI plan of building global infrastructure and energy networks connecting Asia with Africa and Europe.
