Gachagua: Kenyans in diaspora decry economic nosedive, corruption
Democracy for Citizens Party (DC)P) Leader Rigathi Gachagua has revealed that the Kenyans in the diaspora he met are concerned over the state of affairs in the country.
Taking to his X page on Monday, July 21, 2025, after a consultative town hall meeting with a delegation in Boston, United States, Gachagua stated that the community had become aware of the situation, which he says has been exacerbated by poor fiscal policies and corruption.

“I have this evening engaged Kenyans in diaspora at a town hall meeting in Boston. I am happy that they know the truth; that our beloved nation is on autopilot and on an economic nosedive driven by bad policy. Their pain and concern, coupled with pressure from home, are increasingly becoming unbearable. This is a result of poor fiscal policy at home, doubled by other factors atop, misrule, corruption, state capture, and irresponsible governance,” he said.
In mitigating the matter, Gachagua opines that he had assured them of his commitment to help reverse the trend through a building country whose institution works, and youths are empowered to provide the needed solutions.
“My promise to them is a better Kenya where all Kenyans respect the rule of law, a Kenya where education, healthcare, and social protection policies work, a Kenya that respects the rule of law. We deserve a nation that appreciates the young people not as mouths to feed, but as people with the nation’s greatest potential now and in the future to provide solutions to the challenges we face as a people,” his statement concluded.
Gachagua’s sentiments come after he earlier confirmed launching his party’s second satellite office in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
“We are glad our party’s second satellite office in the USA has been officially opened by our party leader. Our commitment to listen to all Kenyans and restore our heritage remains firm. Thank you, Kenyans in Boston,” DCP stated.
The political move comes after he expressed optimism in steering the country back to stability once the opposition defeats President William Ruto.
“Today you know how our economy has declined. It is in a nosedive. For us to improve health care and end corruption, we must exit Ruto. It is why we have the “wantam’ movement. Once he is out, we have other programs on how we restore our economy. How do we restore public confidence among investors and attract foreign investors back in the country?” he stated during an earlier address with the diaspora community.
