More than two years after chaos erupted at former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Northlands farm, the dust refuses to settle. Former Cabinet Secretary and ex-Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has resurfaced with explosive claims, alleging that the farm raid wasn’t just a random act of lawlessness—it was a calculated political assault funded and orchestrated by none other than then-Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The March 2023 raid happened in the thick of nationwide antigovernment protests, spearheaded by opposition leader Raila Odinga. At the time, government insiders accused Uhuru of bankrolling the unrest. Now Kuria says the retaliation wasn’t political theatre—it was real, personal, and criminal.
In a stunning declaration posted on X (formerly Twitter), Kuria said he witnessed Gachagua paying the very goons who later stormed Uhuru’s farm, destroyed property, and stole hundreds of valuable Dorper sheep and goats. His post wasn’t a whisper—it was a roar meant to call out what he claims was state-sanctioned vandalism.
"Rigathi Gachagua has accused me of working with Maina Njenga. Yes, I’m guilty. I learned from the best. I was in the room when Rigathi paid those men to raid Northlands and steal goats," Kuria declared, throwing open the lid on what could be one of the darkest political conspiracies in Kenya’s recent history.
On Kuria’s account is an alleged political vendetta. According to him, the raid was never about security or disorder—it was a targeted strike meant to humiliate Uhuru Kenyatta and derail the protests by shaking the public image of the man accused of fueling them.
The attackers didn’t stop at theft. They cut down trees, torched a section of forest, and left the property in ruins. All this on a farm that, under normal circumstances, would have been guarded fiercely by state security—especially considering the owner's former presidential status.
The revelations are the latest twist in the unrelenting battle for Mt Kenya’s political crown. Rigathi Gachagua, since his ouster as Deputy President, has increasingly found himself at odds with Moses Kuria, who recently exited the Cabinet under President William Ruto’s government. Their feud is fierce, personal, and public.
Kuria, once a staunch defender of government policy, has turned his attention to Mt Kenya politics, accusing Gachagua of being nothing more than a political lightweight trying to hijack the region’s leadership.
On the other hand, Gachagua’s camp sees Kuria as a stooge, a tool of the President’s larger plan to scatter and weaken central Kenya’s political base.
These are not just political jabs; they are allegations of a criminal conspiracy involving top-ranking former officials. Yet, the state remains curiously silent.
The looting of a former head of state's private property—complete with stolen livestock and arson—is not something easily brushed aside. But two years on, no one has been held accountable, no arrests made, and no restitution given. Kuria’s confession, if true, begs the question: who really pulls the strings in Kenyan politics?
