Gachagua mocked the president’s appearance, claiming Ruto had grown so thin that “even his ears are now standing out.”
The DCP leader jokingly asked how much money would ever be enough for the president, alleging that despite already having billions, Ruto still cannot rest peacefully.
“Despite having all that money, he does not sleep, and you can see he has lost weight until his ears are coming out,” Gachagua said, triggering loud laughter from leaders seated beside him.
In one of the most talked about moments, Gachagua delivered a punchline that left the opposition bench in stitches: “Utalala ukifika .”
The remark, referencing Ruto’s rural home in Sugoi, implied the president would only find rest after leaving office in the 2027 general election.
Cameras captured Kalonzo Musyoka, Eugene Wamalwa, and other opposition allies bursting into laughter as the crowd cheered the sarcastic jab.
Supporters of the opposition quickly shared the clip online, where it spread rapidly across social media platforms, fueling heated political debate and reactions from both critics and defenders of the president.
While some viewers found the remarks hilarious, others criticized Gachagua for turning a serious political rivalry into personal mockery.
Still, the moment highlighted the increasingly sharp rhetoric shaping Kenya’s early political battles ahead of the next election cycle, with opposition leaders intensifying criticism of Ruto’s administration and governance record.
As campaign alliances slowly take shape, such viral moments are likely to define the tone of political messaging heading toward 2027, where rivals hope to challenge Ruto at the ballot box once again in what promises to be.
