“I concluded my visit to Kansas City last evening by engaging with the public in the Midwest. My spouse, @Pastor_Dorcas, and I take this opportunity to thank the people for being part of this great course to liberate our Nation,” Gachagua said.
On his part, the former Deputy President, while highlighting his engagement with the people in diaspora, emphasised the importance of Kenyans in diaspora coming back to a country where systems work and a conducive environment of peace.
“Listening to the people and continuous engagement with the people are the hallmarks of true leadership. Kenyans working and living outside our nation need to come back to a better nation where systems work, and there is a conducive environment of peace. Thank you, Kansas!” Gachagua said.
Gachagua Kansas
Notably, Gachagua, who held his last meeting in Kansas on Wednesday, declared his support of the proposal for the United States to review Kenya’s designation as a major non-North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) ally.
Speaking during a media roundtable engagement in Kansas as part of his tour of the United States, the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader said there is a legitimate need for the U.S. to investigate cases of police brutality, abductions, torture, and murder under President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza regime.
“I am very excited that yesterday, a motion was tabled for the American legislative arm to review the status of Kenya as a non-NATO ally because of the violation of human rights. I want to urge Kenyans here in the U.S. to get evidence from home and submit it to the Senators here to use that in Congress as evidence,” said Gachagua.
Worth noting, Gachagua remarks sparks just after US Senator James Risch proposed an amendment to the National Defence Authorisation Act for Fiscal Year 2026, which seeks to review Kenya’s designation within 90 days.
Similarly, the review is set to assess Kenya’s foreign and diplomatic policies such as its alignment with the United States and its engagements with China, Russia and Iran.
