New reports have emerged involving access to military plane as fallout between President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua keeps going deeper on a daily.
According to new reports, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was denied an opportunity to fly with a government aircraft to Bungoma for the Madaraka Day celebrations last Saturday, making it the second time such incident is happening.

Reports indicate that the Deputy President arrived at the airport ready to fly to Bungoma for the Madaraka Day fete only to be told that weather conditions could not allow the military plane to take off from Wilson.
However, Gachagua opted to use an alternative aeroplane that is said to be a business aircraft belonging to one civilian that Gachagua paid using his own money to fly to Bungoma.
Prior to this incident, Gachagua is said to have requested for another military flight to Bungoma on Monday, 27th of May for the inspection of the Madaraka day preparations only to be told he has to get clearance from “above”.
This comes after a similar incident occurred last month after Gachagua’s request to use military aircraft to Bomet for a tree planting exercise was also turned down with President insisting that politicians will not be allowed to use military helicopters.
Immediately after the Madaraka day celebrations, Gachagua is said to have left Bungoma where President Ruto hit back at Gachagua the next day asking the bishops to pray against darkness foretold by his Deputy.

“I request you Bishops to pray for those prophecying darkness and bad omen against us and our future. This nation-and I’m speaking as a leader of this nation, is a blessed nation. This nation is going places.”
