In a viral clip, Gachagua humorously commented on how one of Ruto’s ministers, tasked with the fight against drug abuse, was spotted casually snacking on groundnuts while the Head of State delivered his address to world leaders.
“Ruto akiongea huko UN, ule waziri wa dawa za kulevya alikuwa anakula njugu, ni kama pia amechoka na uongo,” Gachagua said, drawing laughter from the crowd.
The DP’s sarcastic observation has sparked a wave of reactions online, with many Kenyans finding it both hilarious and relatable. Some praised his unfiltered style, while others suggested he was indirectly calling out Cabinet Secretaries who appear disengaged even during crucial international moments.
The incident has added a comical twist to Kenya’s presence at the global meeting, showing how even high-profile events can be overshadowed by seemingly ordinary gestures. Gachagua’s sharp tongue and candid delivery continue to make him a favorite subject of debate and amusement in Kenya’s political scene.
