Friday, July 31, 2026 - Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) Leader Rigathi Gachagua has advised Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor Kamau Thugge to resign rather than be implicated in what he described as a plot to misuse newly printed currency. He urged Thugge to resist intimidation and, if necessary, step down before blame was placed on his shoulders. The consignment, printed by German firm Giesecke+Devrient, is expected to arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Gachagua further cited remarks by former Treasury CS Njuguna Ndung’u, who accused Ruto of micromanaging state institutions. The remarks have intensified scrutiny on CBK operations and raised fresh concerns about political interference in Kenya’s financial institutions ahead of the 2027 elections.
