Even as Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua hinted that his political detractors are people close to President William Ruto, accusing them of trying to manage Mt Kenya politics, his allies now claim there is a wider plot to slash his budget by 25 per cent.

The political scheming, according to Gachagua's foot soldiers, seeks to reduce the budget of the Office of the Deputy President with the intention to ground him so that he does not move around the country.
