REVEALED: What Ruto Asked Gachagua's Doctor On Phone After He Was Admitted During His Impeachment

Fresh details have emerged revealing that President William Ruto personally called the cardiologist treating former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during the Senate impeachment proceedings, raising questions about what the President knew and when, and what exactly he wanted to find out.

According to a sworn affidavit filed in court, cardiologist Dr. Daniel Gikonyo states that he received a direct phone call from President Ruto on October 17, 2024, while he was at the hospital attending to Gachagua, who had been admitted with severe chest pains during the impeachment process. 

The call came at one of the most politically charged moments in recent Kenyan history. Gachagua's impeachment was underway in the Senate, a process that would end with his removal from office. 

The fact that the very man overseeing that process called the doctor treating Gachagua at that precise moment has raised eyebrows among many observers.

Ruto, according to the details in the affidavit, called to inquire about Gachagua's health condition. 

On the surface, it reads as a gesture of concern from a sitting president toward his deputy. But given the context, many Kenyans are asking deeper questions about the nature and purpose of that call.

Was it genuine concern? Was it a way of monitoring the situation? And why would the President be calling Gachagua's cardiologist directly rather than going through any other channel?

The affidavit has been filed as part of the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding Gachagua's impeachment case, and it adds a new and intriguing layer to an already complex political story.

For Gachagua's legal team, the phone call is clearly considered significant enough to put before a court, and what it ultimately reveals about the events of that week remains to be seen.
