Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made headlines by boarding a Kenya Airways commercial flight to Mombasa, carrying his own luggage. This unusual move has sparked a wave of mixed reactions among Kenyans.
The growing rift between Gachagua and President Ruto has been further highlighted by the denial of government or military choppers for Gachagua’s official functions. However, today’s decision to fly commercial demonstrates Gachagua’s resolve to fulfill his duties independently.
Gachagua is set to officially open the International Scientific Conference of the Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya at the Sarova Whitesands Hotel in Mombasa County Today June 12, 2024. The conference aims to explore Kenya’s local pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, addressing self-sufficiency, healthcare impact, regulatory challenges, and successful strategies.
As Kenyans discuss this unconventional travel choice, it remains to be seen how Gachagua’s actions will influence the ongoing political dynamics in the country. His commitment to carrying his own luggage and using commercial flights introduces a new element to the political landscape.
