Gachagua vows to write a book detailing Ruto’s betrayal in the coming days
By Mabonga Makhanu, November 7, 2025Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to write a book detailing the betrayal by William Ruto in the coming days.
While speaking during the book launch of Democratic Party (DP) leader Justin Muturi’s book titled The Fight for Order in Nairobi, he lauded Muturi for coming up with a good story, saying he agreed with every detail of the book.
Gachagua, while expressing his admiration and urging others to tell their own stories, stated that in the near future he will also write a book detailing how his former boss and ally, President William Ruto, betrayed him – an event that saw him impeached from his position as Deputy President.
He said he could have done it now, just like JB has done his literary piece, but according to him, he is currently engaged with politics and other matters.
However, once he becomes free, he plans to sit down and tell his story of how betrayal by someone he trusted and campaigned with on the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket eventually led to his removal from the Deputy President’s office.

“And this is a good story, and these stories must be told. I will be telling mine, but not now. I’m too busy. I have some work to do, but I will be doing good work on the Ruto betrayal as we go on. It’s good to tell this story because JB tried to bring order to the government like he had brought in Parliament,” Gachagua said
Hailing muturi
He went on to shower praises on JB Muturi, saying that it was only him and JB who could tell the President the truth while serving in Cabinet. Gachagua further stated that after he left the Cabinet upon his impeachment, he left JB Muturi as the only honest person who could face the President and speak the truth.
But after JB also left the Cabinet in an unprecedented way, following his replacement by Geoffrey Ruku, Gachagua said that there is nobody truthful left in the Cabinet. He described it as being filled with people who simply follow what the President says without question, labelling them as “yes people” and “flower girls”.
