Gachagua Under Fire For Flaunting A Ksh 32 Million Range Rover Amidst High Cost of Living
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has come under fire for showcasing his financial might while most of the populace struggles to make ends meet.
Gachagua was recently spotted in a swanky 2022 Range Rover, which has a base price of around KSh 32 million. The UK-made vehicle is the epitome of luxury and performance rolled into one.
Most Kenyans online blasted the politician for flaunting his wealth at a time when the country is struggling with a high cost of living.
“How can he buy such a car when people are struggling to put food on the table?” one Twitter user wrote.
“This is the height of insensitivity,” another user said.
“Gachagua should be ashamed of himself,” another user wrote.
The Deputy President’s expensive car purchase comes amid a string of new taxes and high fuel prices that have worsened the already high cost of living in Kenya.
Many Kenyans are struggling to make ends meet, and some have even had to resort to begging on the streets.
Gachagua’s purchase of a luxury car is a stark reminder of the widening gap between the rich and the poor in Kenya.
